Whilst the mornings and evenings definitely have a touch of coolness about them, by midday we are out and about in sleeveless t-shirts, and a dip in the pool is on the agenda. Last weekend saw the regular village brocante, which seems to be getting bigger and better every month - which is great news for our textile workshop participants. Here are a few of my finds....!
a set of pure linen tea towels with "CM' hand embroidered on each
a divine 1920's doll's dress
with matching slip, both embroidered with the initial "J"
an original nurse's apron from the 1930's
some unfinished smocking
red and white buttons on hand embroidery
a piece of perfect stitching on the edge of a pink linen sheet
and finally a pair of stitched leather gloves for someone I know can make a donkey's ear out of a silk purse.
Homeward bound with my purchases, on a perfect French September afternoon, I came across of flock of geese in the middle of the road, on their way.... who knows where. I tried to herd them away from the possibility of on-coming traffic and they finally flew off.... yes, further down the road! I watched as they finally made their way to the side and safety.
When life is good here, it is paradise enow.....
Lovely finds. I'm dreaming of attending one of your workshops some day! Christine
