a day aux puces



a typical saturday au marché paul bert


a labyrinth of narrow alleyways lined with antiques


 spilling onto the pavement


something for everyone


the occasional bargain


creative enthusiasts


filled with mysterious surprises


each with its own unique story

waiting for its next delightful purpose


its next destined owner


who in this case, is clearly me*


les marchés aux puces de Saint-Ouen,
where you will love never knowing 
what you're gonna get.

*i got a new dressing table (above) formerly a 1940s table de dentiste with original opaline table top, antique glass shelving and repolished brass & metal uncovered from a previous white paint finishing
