Catches the best brocante bargains!
I've never been to a brocante so early before and it really was worth it. I got some fabulous things for not a lot of money.
Firstly I bought a beautifully-embroidered French sheet...
...(click on the picture to see it better).
...I'll show it to you again maybe, when it's come out of the wash.
A couple of sweet Barbie dolls (it was the dresses that really clinched it for me)...
This lovely framed Dutch tile (seeing as how I've just been to Amsterdam)...
...and two real 'finds'...
...this child's sewing machine that works on batteries (and it DOES work), and this amazing toy oven that (wait for it) PLUGS INTO THE MAINS!!!!!
...not that I would ever let a child play with it plugged-in!
From an English stall I bought a tomato plant - an Italian variety of plum tomato apparently that I hope will give me mouth-watering fruits later in the year!
Well, the rain has held off and, in fact, it is brightening up, so I think I may just pop off to another brocante now! (There are 3 on today that look good).

Great bargains! I love the french linen. x Jo
You've really got the bit between your teeth! What super finds. You can cook teeny tiny meals for Barbie on the oven!
