French country style?

I have a very small(400sq. ft.) cottage that I would like to decorate in the french country style. I love a more sparse and eclectic look and hope to include some antiques. There are 3 rooms...galley kitchen, fairly good size bath and a main rm/bedroom with a large stone fireplace. Any ideas on where to look for funiture and design ideas. Money and a budget is an issue so please don't send me to high-end spots. Love them but can't afford them. Thanks for the ideas...I look forward to your answers.
Edit: Yowza...I've looked at their catalog before. How's the quality and construction? I like the styles, but I don't know anyone who has order from them before...Thanks.

Anna Lee Soleil
Eve de Constantine,
Lit dans les paumes
Les secrets et les peines

Anna Lee Soleil
Veille, tient officine,
Onguents et baumes,
Elixirs par dizaines,

Ooh...Ooh...Ann' Lee Soleil
Tous les jours
Y compris soir et week-end

Ooh...Ooh...Ann' Lee Soleil
Entourloupes et consorts,
Vol ou à peu près

Un peu de réconfort,
( Paul ) à moindre frais.

Comme vice, avouez,
Dame on a connu pire

Les huiles ne
Le lui envoient pas dire

Anna lie marc de café,
Cartes anciennes,
Bijoux antiques,
Am-Ex, Gold ou espèces

Anna lit
Regards de côté,
Soupirs concernés
Autant d' aubaines que ces coeurs en détresse

Ooh...Ooh...Ann' Lee Soleil
Tous les jours
Y compris soir et week-end

Ooh...Ooh...Ann' Lee Soleil
Fortune, amours,
Résultants sous huitaine

Extra-lucide
Quant aux failles de ses pairs

Est-ce bien licite ?
Va savoir sous ses airs...

Ooh...Ooh...Ann' Lee Soleil
Tous les jours
Y compris soir et week-end

Ooh...Ooh...Ann' Lee Soleil
Fortune, amour,
Résultats sous huitaine

Entourloupes et consorts
Anna dit j' adore.

(Merci à lulu pour cettes paroles)

In the Julia Child French Chef DVD's, she uses a long handled curved fork of some kind.?

I think the fork is 3 pronged, and it is curved, and she uses it to smash and stir things, Does anyone know what it is called and/or where I might purchase such a thing? I don't know if it's an antique, or what.

I have an antique bayonet with (i believe) French writing on it. Is there some1 i can ask q's about it to?

The only part of the script i am sure i can read correctly is 1877. The rest of the words seem to be something like this: mone de olnmes de st etiennes moars 1877, all written in flourishing script. The bayonet has a wood/golden metal handle with a belt strap. The blade is a wedge design, with a flat back on it. Any help is appreciated!!
I can't find a translator for uzbek. Any sites you would recommend?
