Flea Market Finds - Vêtements vintage

Robes pour filles.

Marché aux Puces de Vanves

Marché aux Puces I

Today, we're beginning another mini series. We'll travel to the 18th arrondissement to the well known Paris Flea Market, Marché aux Puces.

This shop full of antique linens and lace items if probably my favorite. We'll come back here tomorrow to look around!

Paris Rouge - Didier Ludot

Didier Ludot's boutique at the Palais Royal features vintage designer delights. I will admit that as often as I've pressed my nose and my lens against this window, I've never gathered enough courage to walk in. Maybe next time.

Hanging Around the Paris Flea Market

Last summer when I visited the Paris Flea Market, I think maybe I was a bit overwhelmed with the sheer number of booths and lovely offerings. In looking back over my photographs I found this one. I took one look and asked myself, "WHY didn't you buy one of those gorgeous laces scarves? What were you thinking??" Well I'm home now and I want one. Here's my solution. The next one of you to get there, would you please buy me one? ( We may need to talk reasonable number of euros however! ) Mon amie Harriet may be the first one since she's going for a nice long visit in April!

Update: My dear reader Louciao suggested this Edith Piaf song to accompany this post today.

Parfait!
