    Gosh Mitmot .... did you travel in a Transit to get all this lovely booty in??? I keep telling my offspring that I have no interest in travelling abroad anymore and sitting on boring beaches however I would dearly love to explore the flea markets of France .... one day she says dreamily ...........

    Good grief, how to choose? I thought it was the cake stand, then the 'chien' sign (although I see them all the time around here) and then I saw all the haberdashery! How absolutely wonderful. I'm curious as to how much everything cost you, as I'm still at the stage of working out what's good value here in France and what's not. I know I passed up on a few incredible bargains when I first arrived, as I simply didn't know the going prices for vintage items. However, I'm not going to ask you to list all your spending! I just have to keep on going to Vide Greniers and flea markets and working it out - it's a hard life (sigh).

    Wow, what amazing items and great prices. My favourite is the teatowels I think, and the roadsign. All so gorgeous! I think using the steps as display in your bathroom is a great idea and I can't wait to see what you do with the frames! x

    I just love everything. The towels and the china, but I love the ladders too.
    And there is an award for you on my blog.

    Love and blessings

    I think the ladder is my favourite, though perhaps I am influenced because the shot just made me think of the beautiful parquet from my old house that I really miss!!!!!! All of the things you got are lovely though.

    Some beautiful things there... but I do like that cake stand. It reminds me of my Great Aunties house. Very pretty.

    OK, I've been to the Shabby Chic cafe and I think you got great deals! Thanks so much for the link - it's important to know when you're getting good value or not, isn't it?
