Brocanting Arles the best bits

This morning we departed early in the direction of Arles for their brocante which happens once a month.

Blue blue skies, look up and everywhere, beauty abounds!

This fellow stole my heart and yet I resisted.... part of the wares of one of my favourite sellers, I imagined this hanging in my childrens bedroom.

Gorgeous plates stacked in a row.

How clever was this antique clothing dealer who hung vintage hats and handbags on the railings which frame Boulevard des Lices.

I saw so many incredible ribbons, this is Arles, the home of the Arlesienne ribbon - painted and printed velvet, and exquisite cut velvet ribbons for traditional Arlesienne costume.

Twinking cut crystal, calling to the magpie in me.

Tiny steel and glass beaded bags - miam miam

Incredible reliquaires in Arles - spot the gold fringing

This is only day 2 and I've lost my heart to France all over again.
