Paris - Day 4 - The Brocante On High


I am having a bit of trouble with my laptop, it's not well at all. Myabe it doesn't like French food but whatever it is I am only getting onto the internet sporadically.

On Sunday Harvey and I went to the local Brocante, which was on the roof of a multi-storey car park. Not very romantic. However on arrival I was stunned at the amount of lovely little things that I kept finding.
In the UK we would call this a Car Boot Fair as it was just lots of locals selling stuff from their car boots or trunks as you Americans would say.
As usual the French were selling stuff that we would give our eye teeth for. I spent a total of 18 Euros and came away with this little lot. Not bad eh? That little pair of ancient spectacles have the name of the maker on the case which is Lacroix but even I'm not stupid enough to think it's the actual Lacroix but it sounds good.
All these items will appear somewhere in the Ghost Furniture range.
