Brocante is the French word for flea market. And the French love flea markets – you will find brocantes all over France, all time of year. They are just one of the many reasons why I love France and her occupants (by now you are also well aware that I love her for her food and wine<\/a>). When I was living in Paris last year, going to brocantes were a weekly treat. At the beginning of each week I would research what brocantes were on within the city as well as in the surrounding suburbs, and plan the weekend around it. I found so many antiques and vintage wares, and on many occasions my arms would be so overloaded that I could barely get on the metro back to the apartment<\/a>. There is no doubt I am addicted to brocantes, and now whenever French Boy and I travel back to France, we instinctively find the nearest brocante to explore, and last weekend’s sojourn<\/a> was no exception. Sure I lamented over what I didn’t claim as mine (read and weep with me here<\/a>), but below are a few of the treasures that I did claim. First, a set of vintage number stamps…<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Then came this gorgeous terrine. And below, a set of perfectly kept French cotton napkins…<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

…We also found a tin box of antique wooden bowling pins that are specifically from the Jura area. They were quite a find and I will show you once I have cleaned them up and find a place for them in the boat. Also among my collection of brocante finds were some vintage doilies which I am using to make something (another show + tell to come no doubt). <\/p>\n

I adore re-using, re-thinking, and re-styling oldwares, and finding such things in flea markets is just the best fun! <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
