Vintage Cafe au Lait Bowls ~ Sunday Brocantes

 

Last weekend I was thrilled to jump back into the game! After surviving the week with the sleepless and cranky jet-lagged kiddos and myself getting over sleep deprivation coupled with ten days of extreme single-parenting--I was ready to hit the pavement and put a little into the flea-market passion bank! After missing several weekends of brocantes--it was high time to get back to doing what I love!

What doesn't surprise me is that the 'theme' of the bulk of my purchases this past weekend, at a brocante in Deauville, would revolve around COFFEE. Oh, my best friend coffee! How would I get by without you?! Yes, I actually brought a pound of freshly roasted beans from a small roasterie in Boston back to France--for French Guy....which became part of his Father's Day gift coupled with a new grinder!

So when I happened upon a vendor at the brocante that had an interesting collection of vintage café au lait bowls--I couldn't help but take a look!

I have been asked to sell café au lait bowls in the past, and I have searched for interesting ones, but truthfully in the past I have found only one to two... and never been attracted to purchase them.

 

But this time.... the appeal and charm--won me over!
