I love 'just looking'....don't you ?





It's that time of year again. The spring brocante fair at Quinconce in Bordeaux has arrived and will entice many for the next two weeks.   As so often happens for us, it was a cool cloudy day but that just makes it perfect for wandering the allĂ©es of the fair without being overwhelmed by the heat that can so often come with spring. 


does your bird need a new house...something a little more unique ?

definitely a bit of a bird house theme going this year

for the larger bird...



I’m not usually looking for anything in particular, I just like to search out the unusual, quirky, the “atypique” as they say in french.  There is such a big variety here, from “chateau chic”  to just plain junk.


toys for boys small....

...and big



Yes, I do find things that I would love to own, but then where do you put a three metre high bibliothèque , or  the iron balustrading from the external staircase of a chateau ? Gorgeous…..but !

your very own lifesize madonna

...or a domestic goddess

something musical

caretaker of the walking sticks



"les nains de jardin" in french

a little something for the stairs to your chateau

friends

wouldn't this look good in your garden ? the pigeons would love it..

this old darling even brings the comforts of home
 when he works the fair 


bonne chasse mes amis
