On a day of presidential elections, the pickings are never that good, as if the whole of France had other things on their minds .... However my brocanting got off to a fragrant start this morning when I came across a charming lady selling h-u-g-e bunches of lilac from her garden for 2 euros the bouquet, you can imagine how pleased I was to snap those up!
I was also thrilled to find a pile of old grain sacks with wonderful lettering and bold blue stripes; a charming little painting in a good frame and a beautiful grey agricultural prize plaque.
A table and a baby's basket were the biggest items in the car on the way home, and three tiny salt cellars and some wooden spoons the smallest!
Some French patriotic flags seemed a suitable purchase today of all days, and I was also happy to spot three 'brand-new-old' linen sheets.
Don't forget that if you would like to come and find your own brocante treasures,there are only a couple of places left on the September tour. And for anyone wishing to buy for a store or with a whole house to furnish, I shall be explaining how to share the cost of a container very soon!
Wishing you a fun week ahead, à bientôt!!
