Thirteen is your lucky number if you like French Hotel silver......

Absolutley magnifique!! This was used as a table marker.It has a clip on the back for a menu..................
tasty pots for lait(cream or milk) and the(tea) for une(one).
barely there monograms on some couteauxs( knives ) well loved and used often.
and precious sauce pitchers for the french love of sauces. I must secretly be French as I love me some good sauce...It is official,Parisian Farmgirl is making macaroons so the Brocante will be Friday October 1 from 6-9. Sooooooooooooooooo excited.

I Pink (I mean think) therefore I am..............part deux

How about some pink millinery feathers with Paris tags on them to make your heart beat a little faster. Put them to rest on your favorite book just because you can......
or a jar full of pink dentifrice boxes (these are for tooth powder before they had toothpaste) and they are swoon worthy for sure....
and pink silk from lyon on there original spools. Oh no I am starting to drool...
I can only hope it does not get on my antique Bonne Nuit pillow. Now all I have to do is ask that Parisian Farmgirl if she will make us some macaroons for October 1st or a date change will be on order........ I cannot wait to see you all.

I Pink (I mean think) therefore I am..............

J'adore Rose ( I adore Pink) and I know alot of you do too!!

so I picked out this cute chemise (shirt) for one of you!
Everyone needs pink cones for there bonbons (candy) don't you?
and a four foot long bolster that might cause a fight. I just hope all you brocante ladies behave allright. Tomorrow I will give you I think pink part deux and then I will come up with a brocante date for you. I know you are all thinking I should stop doing the brocante and start a poetry club? Maybe not so much,adieu

Do you dream of the the Brocante in black and creme?

Will there be French papers at Charlottes Brocante ??

OUI OUI OUI!!!(YES YES YES!!!)
At a small morning brocante in Nimes I stopped in my tracks to behold a huge box of documents.........................Combien(how much) I uttered in my best French . After a little bartering they were mine. I did not stop smiling all day. It is easy to find a handful of documents but a whole box not so much...this early 1700 s mariage document is tres tres bien(very very good.)

papers from the 1800 s with crowns......................... heavy sigh............
parchment papers with fluer de lis..................... joy pure joy..............
factures(receipts) from stores with stamps ,beautiful in jewelry making.........
and most unusual, photo copies of documents great for using as postcards or framing. So yes mon Amis , there will be French papers at Charlottes Brocante.

Its the little French Brocante things that make you ooh la la....

I love anything with French writing on it like these powder boxes.....
and these grain sacs complete with repairs(insert scream here)............
how about some little bags for candy or labels for perfume....J'adore!!
.........then you can wash it down with a sip from your own French thermos, complete with glass.....those frenchies think of everything.
