A welcoming drizzle after a sweltering summer accompanied us to the brocante. I felt sorry for the books, paper and fabric, silk flowers, and all the fragile, sweet things left out to endure the weather.
Aubusson woven arm rest pieces: cost 200€
Pass I did. Though wishing they were mine. I have an armchair that would have made them a happy home.
Even so, I bought a few things—nothing big—I haven’t posted here as they are Christmas gifts. I don’t know if I have the patience to wait until Christmas to give them. That is an easy dilemma to have; waiting to share a gift.
Another reason I didn’t buy much was the cost. Most of these bits and pieces I can find less expensively in Provence. Thant soup tureen was reasonable – but carrying it home was not.
What little treasures have you found recently?
