a mid-march loot shoot

With my charming friend and client here this week, I have been living, dreaming, breathing brocante for the past couple of days.

Here is a little loot shoot to show you the bits that I picked up.  As you know, when I take people shopping , they get first dibs, and I spend more time on their purchases than looking for myself, but I was still happy to find these bits........

 a silver plate teapot for one; and some linen lettered bags

some chequered store tins;

two great sheets, CS and MS;

 a fantastic sturdy grain bag with a bold stripe;

a sweet portrait of  a jack russel, painted on canvas and unframed;

and a pair of wonderful big jute sacks, just love the lettering and the black cross;

I love everything I bought, but I admit to having a favourite ....

this painting on a canvas, was almost certainly a study for a tapestry.  I simply adore the colours, and the gentle atmosphere.  Not sure as yet of the best way to use it or show it, it seems a shame to cut or fold it onto a neat edged frame  ..... thinking on it ..... if you want to give me your ideas then I'm listening!

Voilà!  Hope you're having a fun weekend

thank you for reading me
