Call me an addict if you wish, it would probably be justified ... since yesterday morning I was up before dawn and off with a friend to hunt down more treasures. After heavy rain in the night, the day gradually lifted to bright sunshine and I was happy to discover villages I had never visited and to root around picking out my favourite pieces. A couple of hours bliss and still home in time for breakfast with the family!
I found some linen that pleased me, and some interesting historical documents. But I think that my favourite items are the primary school teaching cards, showing maps of the world all in French, and wonderful vintage designs for teaching children how to read.
I am listing all the maps and reading cards in the brocante store. Here they are shown in their frames, but they will be sold unframed and posted in a cardboard tube.
I just love the way the names on the maps are in French and the words in red show each area's speciality.
