Two of my favorite brocante dealers came over for lunch. Before they arrived I looked around my house and declared that they were going to find the things I sold to them, I should play a game I thought like "Find fifteen things that you sold me?" Actually, they would find more than that without even trying. I made lunch and was so excited to see Christophe and Philippe.
The market in Cassis is every Wednesday and Friday, this morning I walked to the market, filled my basket with fresh seasonal produce, farm eggs, flowers, cheese, wine, olives, and bread from local producers and artisans. The sun promised another spectacular day, waving in the Provencal blue while dancing in the gentle breeze it felt like a weekend in June and not a weekday in February.
Menu
Pizza with seasonal vegetables stacked high fresh mozzarella,
Roasted beets, avocadoes, and stuffed ravioli wrapped around green beans.
Desserts.
Felt like summer with the window open.
A cigale on each plate, the cigale is the symbol of good fortune and happiness. The classic design is from Louis Sicard who started in Aubagne in 1890.
Brocante,
Lunch,
Friends,
Sunshine,
Beautiful day.
Christophe and Philipe the perfect French gentlemen brought over a bouquet of flowers, desserts, and a gift darlingly wrapped with a French ribbon sash.
Inside there was an antique box, a seashell box to hold a rosary and inside the seashell box a multi-ribbon bookmark that was used for a Mass book. Religious gifts since they know I tend to buy things for my church, I mean home, well it is the same sort of place, isn't it?
A perfect day.
