"A loot shoot", that's what the family has started calling it when I come home from the brocante fairs on a Sunday morning and take pictures of my haul.
This morning saw me on the road pretty early, very early actually considering our late dinner last night , and I was rewarded for my determination with some fun finds.
But I'll let you be the judge!!
I have a special fondness for this small oil painting,
the sort of Mediterranean coastline that speaks to me
Just love the spine of this cookery book
'La Veritable Cuisine de Famille par Tante Marie'
{Real Family Cooking by Aunt Marie}
a beautifully monogrammed metis sheet
a remnant of mattress ticking
a huge pile of Villeroy and Boch plates, black on cream
a couple of nice old glass bottles, besides a wonderful fishing basket and
some old French keys
a fun mix of old cutleryand some great enamel pieces including this hand-wash station
and box with lid.
and box with lid.
Nearly all of this will be listed today in the brocante store - I know, I know I keep promising that but today it really will happen - but if there's anything that catches your eye, you are welcome to drop me a mail directly.
I hope that you're having a fun weekend, wherever you are

Such beautiful collection! Believe it or not, I have a set of forks and spoons just like the ones shown in the first picture. They belonged to my great grandmother and the set was split among some of her daughters and eventually trickled down to the next generations. They are part of my kitchen cooking set.
ReplyDeleteOh, lovely finds. The small oil painting certainly speaks to me too, as does the fishing basket.
ReplyDeleteHave a great day,

ReplyDeleteeverything!!!! Wonderful!
I love the loot!
ReplyDeleteYou have a fabulous eye and these are very tempting finds!
I thought it would be pleasant to pop over to France this morning (from Canada) and found your blog. It's been enjoyable looking at your treasures. Your "Saturday" post also struck a chord, as I've been the recipient of some "blogging kindness" over the past few days. Off to hit your "follow" button now...
ReplyDeleteYour loot is amazing! Funny, I dreamed of vintage silverware last night - probably about the time you were buying it (with the 7-hour time difference between France and Minnesota)!
ReplyDeleteWhat is the etiquette/superstition/rule on sleeping on vintage sheets that aren't monogrammed with YOUR initials?
Sharon,
ReplyDeleteSo wishing I was there! I went to the flea market here but it is not quite the same!
Have a lovely week!
