French la Vie Adventures in Brocanting this Week

 

The group is here!

All four of them have been with me before

So we have the same passion, or some would say craziness, for the brocante.

I hope to post photos, but our days are long, full, and delicious.

What do you look for at the brocante?

Dear lover of many things previously used and loved,

i am like you. i love much!
dishes are my favorites.. most items related to dining. i do more looking than collecting these days because my house is full.
i have a hard time parting, so unless i am willing to let go i have to not bring much in.
very hard to do, but i can occasionally.

i love books , papers, linens, decor, on and on...
really whatever beautiful with patina catches my eye.

a full house and covid have slowed me down,
boohoo

have so much fun all of you!

Goodness, the temptations are vast and dangerous! I love textiles of every kind and I love books...so that is enough to fill all the corners of a suitcase or two, but as with Jody, Covid has put paid to my travelling so I do it vicariously through you at present...so thrill us with your finds please do! Have fun%%$$##. Jennie, NZ

If I went to the brocante I would look for something that makes me smile, a surprise I wasn't expecting to find. When I traveled in Provence a few years ago I came home with two linen bed sheets with my initials embroidered in red. It wasn't something I was looking for, but when I saw them I knew. Also I would be looking for more small plates and teacups to match one very old French teacup that I have fallen in love with. I don't know the name of the pattern, but if I saw it at a brocante it would come home with me.
