In between the tedious and the time-consuming, I am planning my time in France.
There will be friends.
There will be saucisson de sanglier.
There will be old stones, dust, and sunshine.
And there will be brocantes.
My list is long, an evolving catalogue of memories and heartstrings.
But I have room in my pocket for your list, too.
What should I bring home for you, if I should be so lucky as to find it?
What would warm your own heart?
I will continue to sell brocante items through Etsy, but will send out a few gift parcels as well...
Write me a line.
Or a catalogue.
Weaving your dreams in with mine will bring welcome distraction.
Make the waiting days pass more quickly.
I hope to hear from you.
xoxo
ohhhh - I sooooo miss Paris and the brocantes! Old french books with interesting covers and wonderful text. A few photos inside are nice too. Not too big : )
Looking forward to your wonderful photos!!!
Enjoy!!!

.......:) Wishing you a wonderful adventure in the French countryside, the open markets full of treasures, how I wish I could walk with you to the many brocantes, if only in my dreams....:)
