I’ve brought home some treasures from the Banks of the Seine, the streets of Paris and the fields of Southern France!
I want to offer you a chance to purchase my vintage French offerings.
Before I set off on my European adventure, I decided that I would seek one specific treasure in my travels: vintage handwritten postcards in beautiful French script.
It took me a week to find what I was searching for in the south of France. I was teaching at La Cascade in Durfort. Our group wanted to find treasures to bring back home. Our host, Nese, helped to send us in the direction of the markets. We found our way to a field, our first brocante! We wandered past tables and wares, what could have almost passed for an ordinary American flea market at first glance. Then, I saw them. A large box of postcards. I tried not to lose my cool. I didn't look at the front of the postcards at all. All I wanted was I had been dreaming about, French handwriting, the script on the back. I made piles and bought as much as I could afford. I may have walked out of the field clutching the papers close to my heart.
The next two batches were found in Paris. David and I wandered up and down the banks of the Seine. Most of the vendors were closed in the middle of the week under a blazing summer sun but a few were open and had wonderful old books, calendars, papers and trinkets. My eyes were wide open searching. There! A woman was selling them in one stall. I carefully picked my favorites (again, looking for the most delicious script I could find.)
A couple of days later, David and I were wandering the streets and stumbled upon a cinema poster shop. Being film fans, the posters in the window called to us. We walked in and there they were, two boxes on a table. More treasures awaiting us.
I packed my wares carefully in brown waxed paper and then in a plastic sleeve to protect them. I put them in my carry-on and trekked all from the South of France to Berlin to Amsterdam, to Paris, then London and across the Atlantic to New York before finally arriving home in Los Angeles. Now, I'm offering them to you.
