Thank you for the overwhelming response to the re opening of my online French Brocante shop.
I will be adding more French brocante items later tomorrow afternoon (24th of July), and throughout the week.
Just between you and me, I think you have the Brocante Bug badly… You do know there isn't a cure, don't you?
Photo: An 18th century wine glass, (Note that the base of the glass is larger than the rim, that is one classic detail of 18th century glasses.) I found it years ago at a dusty hole in the wall shop in Aix en Provence. It cost the price of Coca Cola. Hard to believe that 18th century glasses can be found. Usually, one glass costs more than a dinner at the Jules Verne restaurant on top of the Eiffel Tower.
My friend's daughter Natacha (18) is staying with us for a few weeks. Last night she said she loved our house, and asked the history of a few things. Of course she scored big points in my book, I told her that my children wished our house was more practical, "…. you know Mom, it would be great if there were chairs in our house that were actually comfortable, and mirrors you could actually see in…."
In defense, Sacha chimed-in that one of his favorite things in our house was the Apollo bust.
I asked Natacha if she would like to go antiquing with me this weekend, she nearly jumped out of her skin saying, "Yes!"
Dang, maybe my friend and I got our babies mixed up in childbirth? Chelsea and Sacha would rather have their skin pulled off rather than go to the brocante.
So antiquing we are gonna go.
If you came to France what would you want to do?
