I've always loved the fresh food markets in france, and we have seen some wonderful markets so far... the markets in Versailles were amazing! Did I mention the worlds best goats cheese we ended up eating with honey and the delectable blue?
Well, this weekend another dream came true, and it came to our doorstep!! In the streets around our apartment for three days only, we have the most incredible Parisien antique markets. What a world of discovery !! You could pretty much name anything, ordinary or strange and you would be able to find it in these markets.
Clothes, shoes and jewelry, hats, paintings and toys, furniture, prosthetic limbs, stage lights and kitchen implements. Figurines of all shapes and sizes including a dog biting its rump and a man performing a caesarian on a women... very weird and wonderful, there were many things I would not like to have displayed in my home!
I did manage to pick up some lovely little gold earrings, some silver cuff links and a bottle of my favourite perfume from Grasse. bonus!!
I resisted the spiral staircase and beautiful wooden boat and managed to keep walking by the black t-shirt with enormous sparkly skull. The perfect place to wander and photograph, hunt for strange collectibles and generally while away a few contented hours.
PS - I bought a new suit, woollen jumper and silk top yesterday!!!
