What My Friend Found at the Brocante During the French La Vie, and She Wasn’t Going to Buy Anything

French la Vie, Brocante, Jennifer, Provence

 

My friend Jennifer came to help me with the two back to back French la Vie Journeys that I led. She was Godsent. A ball of energy. Funny no really funny. Swore like a truck driver or better yet worse than me. Drove like a French person which is a big plus, and I could go on an on with singing no shouting her praise. I forgot how much I miss my life in the States when old dear friends come to visit. I wish she was my neighbor, heck I wish she was my roommate!

Jennifer said she wasn't going to buy anything. But I know that brocante bug, I know how it bites and it bit Jennifer from her toes to the top of her head.

She bought and bought and bought.

My mother and Jennifer have a similar style which made me miss my mom and see her in every move Jennifer made which brought a rush of happy feelings.

I posted and post daily on INSTAGRAM especially in the "Stories" when I posted photos of what Jennifer found I had a flood of comments asking to buy what she had. Unfortunately, she did not want to let go of anything… well except a bag of nuts she bought at a shop. 

The French la Vie Group enjoyed Jennifer so much that Gloria and Barbara said, "When we come back we want Jennifer to be here too."

The next French la Vie is at the end of June, it is for one week. An adding plus is lavender will be in full bloom. Picnic and photos will be on the agenda along with brocanting.

Do you think she likes Red?

Rust?

Tin?

Metal?

Check and stripes?

Cooking utensils?

    Brocante beware of anyone with a license to shop (owners of antique shops). I look at your pictures of the brocantes and my heart skips a beat every time.

  2. Love what Jennifer found.
    Oh it sounds like so much fun!

  3. Amazing! How did she get it all home!

  4. Teddee Grace

    She can shop for me any time! Particularly intrigued by that egg basket and its contents.

  5. Nancy B

  6. What a delightful gathering, all this would look so lovely in my shop AND home!!
