I have just returned from an amazing sunny weekend in France where the Vides and Brocante were plentiful.
The French car boot sales are not unlike the English ones in that there are acres and acres of plastic toys and a huge quantity of baby clothes.....
BUT.. for the determined bargain hunter there are treasures to be found alongside "Pour les garcons 0-3 mois"
I will be bringing most of the items shown to
The Giant Flea market at Shepton Mallet on Sunday July 17th. My stand is inside the main hall up on the balcony. It is then onwards to
Ardingly Antiques Fair on Tuesday 19th and Wednesday the 20th of July... usual pitch in the furniture marquee with Rosie and Maud near the food stands!
..... and the larger items will be in place at the
Dairy House in Dorset this coming Friday!
Other purchases include cockle baskets, linen sheets, buttons, hat stands, tea towels, flags, Pernod carafe, cafe trays, cake plates, funky garden chairs and much more. It has certainly been a busy few days!

What brilliant finds you made - whenever we go it seems to be all junk!!! It was lovely to see you the other week and hopefully I will see you at Shepton with your new finds! Have a lovely week.
