Stroll through Cahuzac-sur-Vere

Funny how the weather changes peoples attitudes, lots of dour faces this morning as we strolled through the car boot sale, it was quite chilly and the vendors were all unhappy, especially the ones who turned up wearing just shorts and T's and stood stomping their feet in the attempt to get warm. For the first time in a very long time I didn't find anything I wanted to buy. So amused myself by finding a few things to take pics off.
Happy Sunday 

 Meet the Vendors
 Chucky's little sister perhaps!
Fancy a spin

 Your hat looks stupid, shut up have you seen yours?

You have been warned

 Seen the day I would wear these

 Liar Liar

I had to walk past these, they really stank

My Sunday Finds

A few treasures found in a car boot sale last Sunday  and after a good ultra sonic treatment they have come out looking good. A few need repairs but nothing major. So hopefully will be listing soon.

A beautiful multi faceted crystal rosary from Lourdes along with  case.
Did not clean this brooch and I think the flowers are hand painted as I love it as is.
The colours on this brooch are gorgeous.
Now I think this pendant  looks like a distorted snail new picture needed!
And this big chunky pendant along with a few buttons that I have not yet sorted out and cleaned and I am off to do that shortly.

But my favourit has to be this lovely little leather rose purse which is so excited to be going on holiday with me next week. So all in all a good, in fact the best finds for awhile. Have you found any treasures lately?

Bruniquel on my Tod


This fortified market town of Bruniquel occupies an amazing  position high above the Aveyron and Vère rivers. Ancient houses, a belfry and the ruins of the medieval fortifications are spread out over several levels. Dominating the village is the imposing fortress built by Queen Brunehaut (534-613), daughter to the Visigoth King Athanalgilde and wife of Austrasian King Sigebert, grandson to Clovis. Just thought I would mention this. 
So as they were having a Vide Grenier today and it's only a 15 minute drive from my house, I thought why not. Here are a few things I saw and bought.

  
They both look so fed up


Had to buy a just a few
 
These were lovely but I managed not to buy



Did buy this little beauty
 
Now wish I had bought this

 
Poor Dominique

 
Ann Miller an American Beauty

Hand made Birdboxes


 So after an hour or so pottering I headed of down this gorgeous little street. Had a couple of hours all by myself and could browse as much as I wanted and yay the sun came out to play.
