Rain, rain, go-away!

It almost did pour on my very first brocante outing of the 2012 season today!  Almost.  The morning teased us with what looked like a serious winter storm for the first few hours of the morning--and then the clouds blew on past and the sun slowly peeked-out--and stuck around for most of the afternoon!

So it seemed fitting that my favorite find of the day was an....umbrella stand! Mais bien sur! A whimsical, curvy wrought-iron stand from the 1940's.  I have just posted it on Etsy, but wanted to share it with you quickly now!

Antique French Umbrella Stand
I love wrought-iron work.  I am always taking pictures of gates and architectural elements in iron.  This little stand looks great just on it's own...no umbrellas needed.  But if you are having weather like we are in Normandy--you may also be able to put it to good use!

Bon weekend!  A bientot!
