I bought this leather jacket at a village brocante. It looks very french resistence, maybe an old bikers jacket. It is supple brown leather with a brown woollen lining. It's heavy and warm.

I bought these from a lovely lady who said they might be used for making doll's hair.Interesting idea. I'm not sure  what they might be for although they are different thickness' and all unstarted. 

A huge magnificent ball of string.

Babies rattle

I come across many baskets but this one was  in perfect condition, no wood worm  or missing  weave.

Village Brocante today.

This is a peek at some of the treasures I bought today. I love the  piece of clothing I bought below. It  seems very old and could be a work smock or nightshirt. I need to do some research.

Printed Linen

There is so much to see in this fabric. I love the five colours together soft mauve background red, pink with grey and ochre.I would never have imagined these together. Then the motifs are special. Oriental characters playing stringed instruments, dancing amongst blooms some in vases and bells.
The piece is lined with a fringe along the sides.

Vintage French glass and Kitchen Utensils

Glass.

Vintage kitchen 

Night shirt

Antique linen monogrammed nightshirt.

Gathered around the back. Heavy linen feels very comfortable , breathable material.  

Brocante finds typical of this area

Needlepoint. .Beautifully fine and the materials are of great quality. The colours of the silks are strong and the gilt frames are of good proportions. There are dates written on the back 1967.

A cotton mix sheet,double.

A sweet clay hand thrown pot. Very rustic with visible grit in the clay. It sits in the hand  perfectly and you feel a connection with the potter.

I liked the lip on this glazed bowl. It has a small chip, but even so, so lovely  in the kitchen. I have been making mayonnaise since buying it as it's just so satisfying use these old craft made bowls.
