We are alternating sun and clouds, with a fair wind blowing, so I quickly set up the loot shoot then took it all down before everything was blown away.
Up early again this morning – I can hear you groaning “doesn’t this woman have a life?!” Well, yes, actually I do other things besides hunting for brocante, including late dinners, which means that some nights like last night are very short! 🙂
So I think I’ll just show you these pictures, then find a deck chair somewhere in the garden and settle down with a good book and a cup of tea!
This week I found a very sweet painting of chickens on a hill- so romantic!, an old tripod that would make a great lamp stand; a large number of ‘brand new’ old linen hand towels; some white ironstone, an old box of paints; some charming candle holders for the christmas tree that would actually make great hooks for hand towels in the kitchen and six shoe forms that I think would look great hung on the wall and used as coat hooks!
Hope you’re having a lovely weekend, thank you for reading me.

i love the things you've found today. The painting and the ironstone… moreover, I like it all!
Great finds, Sharon. I love the ironstone and the linens. 🙂
Wow, what amazing finds!
Wow and double wow! I know it's not nice, but I'm positively green with envy when I see what you track down on your hunts. It's just amazing! Flea marketing in your region must be spectacular. So nice that your share your finds.
Hi Sharon
What exciting finds and treasure. Check the paints, if they are very old many contain lead and properties harmful to health.
Hope the wind subsides and you have a blissful afternoon in the garden

My favourite is the painting of chickens, love it! I love your blog also, you share such a beautiful photos of your life. Thank you!
We just wish we had your life….:) I especially love the linens, ironstone and the Loto game but it's all beautiful!
Oh I do love the chicken painting !
Besitos ! C
I am so coveting those linens and that sweet painting…
You have such an interesting blog, and so beautiful objects. I'll read your blog often and admire everything 🙂
Greetings from here Finnish summer.
Sharon, sounds like you deserve to steal some down-time in the garden, in a chaise. I completely understand how the thrill of the hunt trumps the need for sleep! You found some great treasures. I adore the boxed game and all of the wooden kitchenware is just wonderful. ~J
Beautiful blog and beautiful things! Very nice!
Best wishes for a good week and take care…

What? There's a better life than brocante hunting?!? Love the chicken painting.

You always find a great bunch of "loot". The painting is amazing, as well as the paint set that maybe painted the painting? Looks like you always have a good time finding these items. Do you need a side kick????
And thank you…for sharing you life, loves and "shoots" with all of us! Love it all!
xoxo, Chris
I am in love with the picture of the chickens under the tree..also your daisies are so pretty and tall
Sharon I want it all! Beautiful treasures gloriously photographed – once again. Fx

Wonderful goodies you found, but my favorite item is the painting of chickens on the hill. I would not be letting go of that.

Every time I see your treasures, I'm ready to come hunting with you! Love the wooden bowls and the linens. You're having way too much fun… I'm very jealous!
My favourite is the lovely tray with the hand painted flowers – specially love the beautiful background colour. So romantic. Also liked the painting of the chooks in the grass. Would look very dreamy in a provencal style room. Best wishes, Pamela
Love, love, love the striped linen towels!
Love it all. I dream of coming to France someday, I would love to go on one of your Brocante Tours.
I'm experiencing loot envy! Love seeing all those treasures 🙂
Have a great day Sharon,
Sarah
I love, love, love the coat hook idea! And whomever ends up with that painting is quite fortunate indeed. I never how you part with your finds, Sharon. This is why I could never have a shop, as much as I dream of doing so!

Heather
Your finds are just the best! xxpeggybraswelldesign.com
LOVE LOVE it all!
On a scale of 1 to 10 – how tacky is it that I wonder the pricey of your lovelies? Thank you for helping me live vicariously through you!
XO,
Susan
Are you selling any of those linens? Would love to buy!
I like all your "loot"! Especially the linens and the painting! I have this thing for chickens, I guess – Its so sweet! I really enjoy seeing all your photos! Enjoy that book & cup of tea.
Hi Sharon..
I would love the linens and wondering if they are for sale and how much it would cost to have them sent to Eastern Canada….
I expect they are already gone…
Sooo FUN! Sharon
Love the chicken picture and the bird
cages.
Dying to go back.
Love every aspect of Provence❤️
Enjoy
