flea markets in Paris

I showed you a sneak peak of our day trip to the Porte de Vanves antique/flea market.

So much to see. Easy trip to get there. Weather was perfect: overcast and cool.

I was looking for just a few specific things; otherwise I was open to any and all!

My best, most treasured find first:

These were from salemen’s sample books and almost impossible to choose. I wanted to take them ALL home (maybe I should have??)

I did buy a selection of these and plan to frame them for my office…. eventually!

Moving right along, down the main aisle. Silver and lots of it.

Ceramics. Jars, plates, knick-knacks.

I bought my friend a very special petite vase from Gien… and I even managed to “bargain” the price down to less than 50% of the original. In French no less!

This one was a very close runner up, but I didn’t end up buying it.
