When at the brocante, it can be overstimulating for the creative mind. Various things stimulate ideas; future projects take form just by seeing a speck of color or texture. Staying focused on what you are looking for can lead you blind to other possibilities. But then, it can also empty your pocketbook in a blink of an eye.
What to do?
Enjoy the process, enjoy the temptations, take photos to recall the distraction, rob a bank, stay focused, hide the things you find so nobody else will find them but remember where you hid them, tell a friend they should buy it so you can see it at their house, go late so most of the stuff is gone, beg, barter and resist the temptation to steal, wear the darkest sunglasses you can find so you do not see a thing, take one step forward and two steps back, stick to your list, tie your hands behind you back…
The point is there will be temptations, which are the best part of going to a brocante! Otherwise, boredom would sink in and ruin the experience.
I doubt that could happen.
