Monday and it's May already....

{see below for details...}

April seemed to pass very quickly for moi, did it do the same for you?
The weekend also disappeared in the same fashion and I am hoping that this weeks passes a little slower.

What did you do for the weekend?

We spent Saturday at Maison No. 20 where Mr FF worked on the new electrics for our new kitchen/dining room and I made lots of tea and coffee for him and our lovely plasterer. Note I am being especially nice to the plasterer as I would like him and his son to come back and do some more this week .....

Yesterday we went to a local vide grenier and I bought a couple of items, neither of which Mr FF was to happy about as both were heavy and one of which almost broke my lovely french shopping basket.

Here is a photo of the first object that I purchased for the princely sum of 14 euros......

The keys do not work but I am hoping that Mr FF will work his magic and get it working for me.

I adore it and I love the fact that it looks old and slightly rusty.

This was my second purchase.........

Note it has what looks like the initials C.E so if anybody knows anything about antqiue sewing machines, please let mw know as I would love to know what brand it is and where it came from.

I thought that it was a bargain for 10 euros but am not too sure that Mr FF shares my point of view as he was the one that had to squeeze it into our car.

Fortunately the other purchases were rather small and a lot lighter...

Thought that this Vierge Marie wall hanger was fabulous and loved the wee glass bowl that it contains. Note this is will be available on my online shop later today, it costs 20 euros + postage.

Another purchase was this vintage necklace with "Lourdes" medaillion

It come with extra long chain and will be available later today in the fabulously french online shop, for 10 euros + postage

So what did you all do at the weekend? Did you also find some bargains?

a la prochaine,
