A week ago

we arrived at the cottage and it was bliss. Sunshine, blue sky, so peaceful and quiet and aaahhh, the view! Last Sunday I even managed to get to a brocante and found a few new treasures! Great start, but then, on Monday, I came down with a horrid cold which kept me down for days and I am still fighting it. Feeling a lot better within myself though since yesterday, so I went into our little town and braved the shops yesterday. Glad I did, because I found a little bunch of the most beautiful roses. They are such a delicate cream, green and lightest blush pink -

I fancied a bit of colour as well though, so I brought some of the wisteria in as well -

The wisteria is almost in full bloom now -

I only managed to take a few pics of some of the things I bought at the brocantes, I was too weak during the week to even to hold the camera for long, pathetic,eh? But here they are. A couple of lovely old lace collars -

A few bits of lace -

Gorgeous old buttons on cards -

Baking tins, including some teeny tiny super cute ones -

Ornate cast iron coat hooks -

A Paris Souvenir pin dish -

Salt and pepper -

Lingerie stamp -

Gorgeous Pierrot tin -

And my most favourite find of the brocante, this absolutely gorgeous delicate blue silk and lace box -

I'll photograph the other beautiful things I found very soon!

WISHING YOU ALL A VERY HAPPY EASTER WEEKEND, FULL OF SUNSHINE AND FUN, AND ERRMM, CHOCOLATE EGGS :-)!
