These sculptures at Saint Sulpice are meant to be the focal point of a fountain. No water runs through it at the moment, as extensive renovation on the church nearby continues. The brocante currently underway at Saint Sulpice is arranged around this fountain.
Flowers, enamel light fixtures, jelly glasses and wooden potato baskets are featured in this arrangement at the 30th Foire aux Antiquaires, currently underway at Place Saint Sulpice. The event continues from 11 a.m. to 8 p.m. daily through June 18th. On June 15th, the brocante will remain open until 10 p.m.
This wooden cabinet is filled with various ceramic decorative cabinet pulls. A wooden box holds assorted drawer pulls and other hardware.
This wooden model of an 18th-century ship towers above a chaise longue and ottoman.
Colourful retro lighting from the '70s is the focus of this stand at Saint Sulpice.
This 19th-century cabinet retains its original chippy seafoam green paint finish and screen.
A late 19th-century wooden file cabinet at Saint Sulpice. Wish I had space for it in my apartment! More brocante photos follow...
Amazing photos, as always. I'm quite taken with the retro lighting!

Dear Tara,
Could you please throw that wooden file cabinet into an envelope and mail it to me?
Thank you,
Colette
Oh, no, wait! I don't have the space, I'm still trying to fit in a very small table in my apartment and there no room for *that*. Aren't you relieved??
Hahahaha!
XOXOXOXO
But seriously, everything is beautiful, you spicy woman you!

Hi Tara,
What fun, to see all of the wares and decoratives and ideas.
I love reading your poem about exotic spices. White bread
seems so far from anything you would ever be from.
You must have taken it upon yourself to become the international sophisticate you are today.

Tara,
I am salivating over that chaise lounge and ottoman. I am also partial to those jelly glasses. I love using them for olives or jams! They always look festive on the table. Hoping to find some when I visit!
