Ten-Word Thursday: Paris Flea Market
Jan 15th, 2009 by Marilyn
Ten-Word Thursday, an ongoing feature in which I’m forced to communicate an idea in just ten words. Specially designed to show my husband that I can shut it when necessary.
Today – a travel daydream and the one that got away? No problem.
1950′s cookbook
mmm – maybe
wandered
came back later
gone.
Merde!
what slipped through your fingers?
The table of mix match silverware makes me want more.
Beautiful vignettes!
We went to a Disney surplus store this week. They had a wooden sign that said “cobbler” with a picture of an old victorian shoe…for $25 and I didn’t buy it. Assume the sign hung on “Mainstreet USA” for some time. I couldn’t deal with the “pack & ship” bs so I walked away. I kinda regret it…
I thought that book was more than it should be, and I walked – c’est la vie. Now I can’t find it anywhere – interwebs or otherwise. Grrr.
Such language, Marilyn!
The store looks like it must be full of fabulous finds.
I have a habit of perusing before I purchase. I figure if it’s meant to be, it will exist when I get back to it, whenever that is. Only when I leave a “find” and can’t stop thinking about it, do I know it’s meant for me. I have yet to go back to purchase an item and find that was no longer available. Either I’m incredibly lucky, or have really odd taste.
Oh, so many things I want in these pictures! I would be happy just to be wandering around Paris though. I can’t complain, I scored big time on my last trip to the antique shop. I got two beautiful crewel pictures that suit my house perfectly. Both were owned by the shopkeeper’s grandmother, one was even made by her. Great finds and a good story!
Oh my god, those bundles of silverware make me want to hop on the next plane. I haven’t been to Paris in 4 1/2 years and I am jonesing! The last time I was there, I let a GORGEOUS teapot slip through my fingers because I didn’t think we had room in our suitcases. Silly me!
Je ne regrette rien, but I so want that bust in the first photo.
C’est magnifique, Marilyn!
Just time…where does it all go?
