On a day of presidential elections, the pickings are never that good, as if the whole of France had other things on their minds …. However my brocanting got off to a fragrant start this morning when I came across a charming lady selling h-u-g-e bunches of lilac from her garden for 2 euros the bouquet, you can imagine how pleased I was to snap those up!
I was also thrilled to find a pile of old grain sacks with wonderful lettering and bold blue stripes; a charming little painting in a good frame and a beautiful grey agricultural prize plaque.

A table and a baby’s basket were the biggest items in the car on the way home, and three tiny salt cellars and some wooden spoons the smallest!
Some French patriotic flags seemed a suitable purchase today of all days, and I was also happy to spot three ‘brand-new-old’ linen sheets.

Don’t forget that if you would like to come and find your own brocante treasures,there are only a couple of places left on the September tour. And for anyone wishing to buy for a store or with a whole house to furnish, I shall be explaining how to share the cost of a container very soon!
Wishing you a fun week ahead, à bientôt!!

Hello Sharon
I love your treasures from today's brocante. How exciting to be up early and driving the countryside in anticipation – the lilacs are just beautiful too.

Well, not at all to diminish your purchases but the lilacs!!! At only two Euros the bunch!!!
And the election IS all I can think about today–I so wish that I could have voted! Will await 20h with anticipation…
Fun!!!!!!! The lilacs are gorgeous………wish I was there:)
Lovely things! As the saying goes, always expect the unexpected. Please share more information about the September tour? Merci.
I love the old grain sacks with the blue strips and bold lettering! Are they for sale and if they will be how can I make a purchase? Beautiful finds, again.
It's tempting. You find so many lovely things, what an eye!
You sure did find some treasures – that basket is tres bien!
I would absolutely love to meet you all in September. Dreamy.
What a successful morning you had!I love all the treasures you found and the lilac at only 2 Euros what a bargain!

It looks like you had a successful day out, Sharon!
Yes, you are a good picker, Sharon.
I cannot wait to hear about sharing the cost of a container. A few years ago I met a couple who brought back a whole container including a concrete fountain from the South of France from items they purchased themselves for themselves.
They really found some treasures!

I'd love a big bunch of lilacs.
Your loot is always so fabulous, do you have to look through a lot of junk before finding the goods?
Ooooh…what fun to bring all of those things home!
Ooooh, I love that painting!!!
Greetings
