Its that time of the year again........................

Every year I live for the first weekend in September....................for the biggest brocante in our area.  3000 stalls + over 2 days - numerous trips back to the van to unload the goodies and run back to the fields again for more shopping.  A perfect place for re-stocking, looking for items on client's "wish lists", finding that perfect item for a lot less than you thought, finding something you have never seen before.........I am losing sleep wondering what I will find...............

Will it be one of these?   I would love another mannequin but with a "wasp" waist, so hard to find in decent condition.  Or maybe another one of these...................
Rusty, shabby, hard to find "string keeper" tin c1900's.  Perfect in my eyes but just rubbish to someone else.
Or maybe another one of these...........................
A very pretty c1910 silk covered and lined ladies boudoir or glove box.   I will just have to wait!
