Sunday Brocante -- Trouville Sur Mer

Okay--here we go again... This week's Sunday Brocante was.....(wait for it...wait for it....)   ...on.....   Saturday!  Yes, it happens.  It actually really does mix-up the weekend, but this particular weekend it all worked out for the best and we had a lovely relaxed lunch at my dear in-laws on Sunday afternoon instead!

Also a bonus, the brocante on Saturday, which was a cross between a brocante, a foires a tout, a vide-greniers and a puce.... was in Trouville, which is almost my hometown so it was an easy commute! 

It was most definitely a 'look close and dig deeply' for the good stuff!  In search of yet another vinegar pot, we came across one similar to one that I purchased last week...it's twin sister in fact, but this one had a crack in the lid and yet the Madame who was selling it wanted four times more than I paid for the other one and...not only that!..... didn't hesitate to toss an insult at my sweet mother-in-law for pointing this out!



 But mainly...most of the sellers were as bright and cheery as the late morning was...and persistence in scouring the tables and blankets on the ground covered with the goods and odds and ends---paid off...or at least I hope so.  I loved what I found, in any case!

This small milk carrier caught my eye, with it's bright red handle, as did the wood 'bowling' pins used for a French game of 'jeux de quille'.......  and I fell for a little antique wire egg-basket as well!

 I did find something else extra special!  I love it so much that I have been very picky about photographing it and have not yet posted it in the shop.....it will be worth waiting for!  I promise!

Until then....see you next Sunday.....or is it Saturday?  

Wait and see!
