Empty the attic

We do love a rummage around a vide grenier, especially when it takes in a local champagne house. It’s the first one I’ve ever been to where you can get a glass of champagne. This ‘empty the attic’ also ran along the road in Neuville-sur-Seine, a very pretty little village about ten minutes from us. It was a very successful morning, and we came home with some good finds.

The whole lot cost us 15 euros, can’t wait to see how the frame is going to clean up. The little plate stand is Limoge, and the onion jug will look gorgeous with flowers in it.

On the way home, we finally found a boulangerie we had been looking for in Neuville. We’d been looking for it in the village, but it’s on the main road approaching it, which we’d never driven down before. We had always taken a smaller side road, hence we kept missing it. We took the opportunity of stopping for coffee and a pain aux raisins - which was rather delicious.
