J'adore these birdbaths!! And for a second I considered throwing out some clothes
from my suitcase for the blue birdbath... |
Okay so I am warning you now that I didn't take that many pics at the flea market. I was too darn busy in "hunting" mode. I'm sure some of you know what I mean by "hunting" mode right? The eyes are keen, sharp to any item that might snag a portion of your hyper alert peripheral vision ---yep, hunting mode. I did walk away with a few things, but hope you don't mind me waiting a bit to share all my finds. I will give you a hint though: antique
Gien. We had so much fun, even the kids found some treasures of their own. We plan on heading to the Paris flea market next weekend, I will share everything after then, I promise!!
The rest of the weekend has been quiet---a nice lunch after the market yesterday on the Loire river and a lovely cup of espresso...
We are all packed and ready for Paris tomorrow, so now I am going to make tea, watch the French Open finals: Nadal and Djokovic (go Rafi!!!), and maybe crack open
this book...
Hope you had a fine weekend, too....
xoxo
Weekending with Amanda...
have fun. can't wait for your Paris pictures...
ReplyDeletei feel i'm there with you, sitting at that lovely cafe along the river, it's all so exciting. i've been to the flea markets a few times (on buying trips with my antique dealer mil)and love to remember how much fun they were. i hardly bought anything (much too expensive) but it was always fun to look! have a wonderful time.
