Street sale also known as vide-grenier in France

I did not sell much - a few old silver bracelets

which I wore as a.girl

I decided to separate from those little quilts -

nobody was interested

I thought that people overlooked them and so I hang them up

on the gate - with the second cloudburst they got draining wet 

- and today they are still mine

Quite a disorder on the tables - but this is a fleamarket

A lady was interested in my fabric bundles - she returned once more 

and took another one - a bundle was for 2€ - very bon marché

But I admit I didn't like the fabrics anymore - 

DH is keeping me company - sitting under the sunshade

See the puddle near our table? The rain was so heavy  -  we ran with

plastic foils to cover things up

And used the parasol as an umbrella

Sun came up again  and we were happy to have the sunshade 

in its proper use

DH is playing the piano behind the fence - and what do you think

He earned 1€ - yes 1 Euro -

The potholder grew during those 8 hours in the street ---

and is finished now. - The tablecloth is from - who do I know???

Could be from an aunt - cousin of my mother

It's Sunday

Flea market on the grassland.

I am in the foreground - looking at things -

always looking for threads and admiring gorgeous

linnen sheets - I don't buy them anymore - my stashes

are too high already.

 

Next photo: Men's party with beer and wine under the tent -

we had coffee - it was only 10 in the morning

 

 

village church

lots of cars because of the flea market

Villages look like this in our region - Haute-Saône in eastern France.

Narrow and tall houses to live in and very large barns where formerly

animals were kept and hay and straw to feed them.

Nowadays, the cow sheds are large buildings for 300 animals or more.

Next photo shows our front garden in its naturalness.

And then on Monday the craftsmen arrived ....

made much noise and dust

and this hole for a window in our future bathroom

and I baked those muffins - lemon-joghurt with butter-almond

topping - to feed them at coffee-time.

Work will go on tomorrow - on Tuesday.
