Let me just say that I am not unaffected by what is happening in the world. I may be idyllicly located now, but life is not rose-tinted and terrible things are happening elsewhere.
My child works an inherently dangerous and stressful job in a vulnerable, major UK city;she and her own little family live on the edge of what is now a volatile, overcrowded melting pot. Yes, I worry.
But I will live this life without letting fear and angst chew up my soul; and I will feed my soul by looking at and listening to beautiful things.
I found these at the Esperaza VG; large hand made and glazed lustre bowl, embroidered table linen and a tasselled lace curtain that exactly fits the front door to keep the big bugs out. I have neglected my French stuff Thursday Three slot this year. It will be remedied.

Of course you aren’t immune. I am not either but I applaud and echo everything you say. One cannot go around in a state of frenzied fear of might-bes. That is no life. On the other hand I am rather sick with envy at your fabulous finds. Are you sure your house will be able to take all the things you are bound to hunt down now that you are actually perpetually in brocante and vide-grenier land? 😉

Oh, it can’t take all of it, just selected highlights. Much will go onto etsy and ebay to pay our way. The dish is particularly beautiful x

It is lovely, i must say. And I’m teasing …. I know you are in business – and what a splendid business to be able to buy beautiful things and pass them on, or have them for a little while and them move them when the next beauty comes through the door. You have exquisite taste and a brilliant eye. X

Looks like great stuff! I love the blue/white table linens.
We went to the brocante at Limoux, but I hadn’t seen that there was a vide-grenier at Esperaza. So close!

Bizarrely it wasn’t advertised in Esperaza!
It was one of the best I’ve been to for a while. And cheap
