Lorna has finally found an old Polaroid
camera (she’s been looking for a while!)
And I picked up two other old cameras
another brocante yesterday to add to her collection! I really love the look of
this one ….
I think the corrugated finish on the case
is just fab, It may or may not work but I think it looks pretty cool! All of
the above cameras cost 5 euros each …. It would have been just rude not to buy
them for that!!
Next up two of my favourite purchases so
far…….
a big metal washing basin (which we’ve
planted up in the garden & a cool vintage style leather bag both a snip at
10 euros (I’m telling you ! what’s not to love about Brocantes!!!)
Some Brocante finds for the kitchen ;a cute coffee pot I really love and
what has to be simply the purchase of the summer so far, Gavins vintage radio;
Gavin has spent about 6 hours fiddling, tweeking, soldering and mending until
he finally got it working. It clips open displaying its insides making access
to the working parts really easy and I think he would agree its the best 2
euros he ever spent! When we were driving home from that particular Brocante
the discussion in the back of the car went something like this
“Imagine if you actually managed to fix
this radio and then when you tuned it in, you could only hear radio broadcasts
from the past…”
“Yeah!...Wow!...Imagine…..”
Some more of my other (un-photographed)
Brocante purchases included some jam jars and a new copper jam pot !Hiding
behind the coffee pot you may have notice some jam. Not just any old jam its my
world famous super-de-dooper Apricot breakfast jam. I’ve made two batches so
far; I took loads of photos of the jam making process and will post them as a
tutorial as soon as my disjointed internet access will allow, I promise!
For the rest of the post I’m just going to
share some of Lornas Brocante photographs from yesterday…..
& finally
YESTERDAY evening the Brocante loving boy
fell off his bicycle and cut his shoulder, wrist, knees, elbow, both hands,
chin and chest.
TODAY I discovered the photo below on
Lorna’s camera that may explain the prelude to the damage inflicted on our
unsuspecting hero! Boys eh ?!
Thank you for visiting & please do come
back soon !
