The best is an antique purple velvet cloak (for which I paid the equivalent of $10 in 1967).

When I go with some cash, I return home with something which maybe I should'nt have bought; when I don't bring cash, I regret what I could have bought! Anyhow, it's always a pleasure just to walk around! :-)PeterParishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09694538476960957295noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5681875145919050501.post-9795527847362469542012-07-26T06:37:48.233-04:002012-07-26T06:37:48.233-04:00Pairis flea markets...*swoon*... so muh fun!

Last weekend in Paris there was a 'brocante' in the Village St Paul (Marais) - very interesting and much more intimate than the big flea market at Clignancourt, which I found too overwhelming. I didn't buy anything (too hard to bring a lovely chair or a gigantic hat home to Australia!!) but it was such a fun experience.bibliolathashttp://bookforgetter.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5681875145919050501.post-53142398139033933172012-07-25T22:38:11.260-04:002012-07-25T22:38:11.260-04:00That sounds like a great adventure.

I always look for small items and always find large ones like that typewriter!<br /><br />There is a new edition of the Markets in Paris book. My older edition has notes on almost every page and I would have a difficult time making a case for a new one. I wonder if there are actually new markets in Paris?<br /><br />Love seeing your photos here.<br /><br />Bises,<br />GenieGenie -- Paris and Beyondhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12758801373365481655noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5681875145919050501.post-22294925289154207232012-07-24T22:04:36.164-04:002012-07-24T22:04:36.164-04:00wow....how much fun !!

I have brought home a few things from others parts of France though and I treasure them dearly. My first trip to Paris I was with a group of women and we did happen upon a small flower shop near the Eiffel Tower and sitting outdoors was a small table full of goodies to good to ignore.

Everyone's eye picks out different details in photos like these. I noticed the dominos and silver/pewter ashtray next to them - a little bit of Texas life right there in the middle of Paris! <br /><br />In fact, I might have brought the ashtray home as a souvenir. Cleaned up, it would make a wonderful daily-use soap dish - I always like souvenirs that can fit into life "back home".shoreacreshttp://shoreacres.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5681875145919050501.post-26722479736084529912012-07-24T06:12:39.744-04:002012-07-24T06:12:39.744-04:00Oh, boy.

All interesting items. I don't read French, but I notice one sign in a language I understand, and that's in the last photo.
