Went to the brocante, one of my favorites, I know what you are thinking....They're all my favorites... Well you got me there, but this one: Gardanne's Brocante is (Near Aix en Provence).
Even in the rain Mr. Dropsy, the organizer of this brocante and several others in the region, puts on some of the best brocantes around Provence.
At the brocante, under the rain, I was like no other but Gene Kelly.
Happy feet and soaking wet.
Found some nude charcoal drawings, at last to go with the others I have.
This iPhone makes taking and adding photos a snap.
Twitter is going to be so much fun to add live reporting about the brocante and more.
Now dear reader, I need your help. How do I put an iPhone video on to my Typepad blog?
I have two video's one for you and one for the dang brother of mine.

Hmmm YouTube is one option.

Hi C
Sorry I don't know the answer to your video question. In fact, I have a question of my own! Friends who come visit me in St. Remy always want to hit some brocantes. What's the best way to find good ones during any given week? Do you have a list you care to share or a great website that lists them? Thanks!
Julie

I think your Mother's Day gift has created a monster. I love waking up and checking your blog daily, but now I will be tempted to check during the day just to see if anything new has been uploaded. Monster you, monster me.

I would drink coffee ALL DAY LONG if I had sweet little cafe au lait bowls that colorful and cute.

Did you buy that red polka dot cafe au lait bowl?

Yep, Corey wants our full attention all day long now.
We'll all have to get our own iPhone.

Does this mean we can look forward to a re-opening of TICAntiques really soon? :)))

Hi Merisi,
Oops! I didn't. Sorry.

Those are cafe au lait bowls?!! I was wondering why there were Japanese rice bowls at the brocante! They really do look like our rice bowls. Pardon my ignorance! :o)

And here I was hoping they were maybe for hot chocolate :-) (Actually, I suspect we could use them for any food/beverage we wish, without punishment.)

Video link to you tube won't use any site memory. Otherwise I think just download from phone to iTunes then back up to your site. - Gail

Steve Jobs here again.
Glad to see you all corrected on the name of our product, the iPhone. Our team of lawyers cannot be bombarded with companies suing us for intellectual property infringement.
We can now focus on our lawsuits against, Facebook, Research in Motion, Google, and Microsoft.
Happy brocanting. Incidentally we would like Jonathan Ive to look into some of the design elements associated with the Pink Shoes. Will be in touch soon.

LOVE the shoes Corey! Funny how you could wear them today and they would be quite current. Your grandmother had taste!
I think you have to save your video in iphotos (that's what Vlad does) or even on your desktop, then you post it like you do a picture although I'm not familiar with Typepad but that was the case with Blogger.
You should be able to drag your video from iphotos to your desktop...
Good luck! Would love to see the videos. Does Gardannes Brocante happen in July?

cafe au lait bowls were on my list when I was in France, but didn't end up with any. What fun you have at the brocante. Did you wear the pink shoes?
Posted by: Marilyn | 03 June 2011 at 05:34 AM
Had I been at that brocante, I could not have left without several of the café au lait bowls. What a great photo!

Brocante Report on CNN by Corey!
Love it!
Posted by: Rhonda P. | 03 June 2011 at 06:27 AM
Wa Wa Wa, it doesn't work. Though Blogger and Typepad are different in that way.
I guess I will have to download them to YOU TUBE first.
Look forward to seeing you.

I am green! So many cafe au lait bowls! Please tell me they were priced crazy high and the dealer was unwilling to bargain!
Posted by: Joan Thodas | 03 June 2011 at 06:12 PM
Oh no I didn't wear them, they are too fragile for the wear and tear of the brocante.
Posted by: French la Vie | 03 June 2011 at 11:25 PM
I Love the decorative garden pots...or whatever they are. Yes I am thinking of getting an iphone because of you!!!
