Our senses are filled full
with inspiration
creativity
new and renewed friendships
shared meals
discovery
learning
simply by experiencing Provence through the lens of the brocante.
to travel by this means is to engage in conversation
by holding an old object in one's hands and asking
how much?
then the story unfolds and often a connection is made.
I am so grateful that the brocante dealers I have met over the last thirty years living in France
have opened their arms, homes, studios, warehouses, and addresses
for me to share with my blog readers and those who join me on the French la Vie.
The French la Vie would be just another sightseeing/buying experience if it wasn't for the connections I have made at the brocante and if those wonderful friends didn't open their hearts and friendship to me to share with you.
I am grateful for the brocante journey!
And we are so grateful for you and all you share! ❤️
