I enjoyed a couple of hours at the local flea market early today, before it got too hot.
I bought a few pieces for resale in my consignment space at the country store in
The Village. I was inspired by a small blue shelf I found, and continued to look for things that would "tell a country story".

Country decor isn't my personal taste, so after my "must do" shopping,
I spent a little time looking at beautiful vintage treasures.
I found this sweet Limoge vase with hand-painted "birds on a branch"
on each of its six sides.
After being offered a great price, how could I say no!
It stands just under seven inches high.
My mission was complete. On the way out I snapped a picture of a great
chest of drawers
painted and decoupaged in happy French colors.
In keeping with the "French" theme, I've added a picture of a Limoge chocolate pot
and some orphaned cups that I love, from my china cupboard . They're cracked and chipped, and oh I wish they could talk.
A merry heart makes the face cheerful. Proverbs 15:13a
