La dentelle antique

Late one afternoon, while Mary and I were poking around one of our favorite places, Village Saint-Paul, we discovered a small brocante. Note: On our last trip in early March, it was under renovation. 

Paris Rouge - Le géranium

Église Saint Germain de Charonne

My, my, this brocante series is taking a life of its own.  Two days ago I posted a photo of the grande brocante in the 20 éme that Mary whisked me to.  That led to yesterday's post of the boy serving mint tea and sweets there.  Mary commented that although we didn't buy anything ( except tea) that I did get the good shot of the red geranium in the little church cemetery so all was not lost.  You see where this is headed.  Today, I *repost one of my favorite Paris Rouge shots.  Tomorrow, I might just find a few more and make a week of it!

* As we all know, but just don't talk about, I am guilty of reposting photos from time to time.  I thank you for your patience and understanding.  

Thé Madame?

If you read yesterday's post, you know that Mary and I visited a large brocante in the 20 éme on one of our jaunts around Paris. While we didn't find much of anything we wanted to purchase,  this sweet boy selling mint tea and sweets was impossible to pass up.  

La Grande Brocante

Mary and I struck out for a grande brocante in the 20 ème one Saturday.  I'll admit we were sorely disappointed in the offerings.  This was the one and only item I would have paid for if I'd been able to get this vintage case of pétanque balls in my carryon.  Oh the stories they could tell.
