I promised to show you my purchases from the Brocante I went to on the Rue Cler!
I knew I had to be careful since whatever I bought would have to go home in my suitcase!
I have long loved knife rests, but don't often see them here at a good price. In Paris I found these lovely glass one's on a table for 1 Euro each. I only bought two and I love them!
At another table everything was 1 Euro and I found this really charming powder box with a 'silver' top.
But my favorite find was this...
A Quimper bowl for 1 Euro!! I know it's in horrible condition but that's part of the charm!! It had a wire hanger on it but I took that off. I really love this piece and thank my friends Debbie and Sarah for sharing their love of Quimper or I wouldn't have known what this was!
**Sarah says this is a Lug Bowl and used to drink morning cafe!**

This is the perfect Paris treasure!
I'm home and trying to get myself back on USA Eastern time! Tired but oh so happy to be home!
BUT...my suitcase did not make it here!
GRRRRRRRRRR
REALLY???
I am hoping it finds its way to me soon. I have so many Paris treasures in it that I will be so sad not to have. I do have my cameras and photos but still...
I'll be working on posts to share the rest of my amazing trip to Paris with you!
I'm joining with Diann for
Merci Diann for taking care of the party while I played in Paris!

Welcome home, Linda. What a fun time you had. You will be on Paris time for awhile, I'm sure. Thank goodness you have your camera and photos. I hope you do get your luggage. What a pain! I'm sure Charlie is over the moon to see you. Oh, and that Quimper bowl...c'est bon! Deb
Welcome home! That suitcase! It just seems to have other ideas, doesn't it? I love the knife rests! xo Nellie
Linda, welcome home! Can't believe your suitcase didn't arrive with you again. What airline did you fly?
Hopefully you'll have it soon.
Love the brocante finds. Wow, 1 euro! That is amazing. Your Quimper piece is a lug bowl. The French use these to drink their morning café. It's actually in good condition.
Get some sleep. Glad you are safely back home. I'm sure Charlie is happy his "mom" is home again. '-)
Hugs ~ Sarah
Oh such wonderful finds, can't your there, I should be there, I love knife rests, I have a set of 4, they are so hard to find at a good price, you are right,,thanks for sharing...Phyllis
Oh I missed the part where you are home, had to go back to see the knife rests....I still should be there...Phyllis
I'm so glad you are back home safe and sound. I know you must be exhausted...but happy, too! Now if your suitcase will just try to keep up with you! Sending you BUNCHES of hugs my friend and Sis! I can't wait to hear more about your trip!
YAY for thrifty Europe Flea Market finds!
BOOH! Your suitcase is still in transit.
Can't wait to see all your treasures.
Be well :)
I love your beautiful finds, Linda...especially the lug bowl! I have a little collection of them and yours was a fabulous price! So glad you are home safe and had a wonderful time! I know Tiger is the happiest of all to see you! :-) Hugs...Debbie
I love your beautiful treasures. Oh no, let's just hope that suitcase finds its way back to you soon. Looking forward to hearing more about your amazing adventure. Welcome home!
I am so thrilled you are home even though im sure your adventures and time in Paris just flew by! Oh I am sooooo jealous of your knife rests! They are on my wish list of things I have been searching for. Like you, I have seen them but they have been too out of my price range. I am so excited that you got to go to a flea market in Paris! To me, that would have been the cherry on the top of the whole trip!
Safely home, filled to the brim with precious memories, which are, after all, the best souvenirs! Still...I hope the suitcase follows you home soon!
Fun finds and welcome home Linda! You sure had an amazing adventure, hope you suitcase shows up soon:@)
Glad you got back safe. Now for your luggage... Neat finds!
What great finds, Linda! Welcome home:) Geez, I can't believe your luggage didn't make it! I hope you get it back soon. Sure never want to fly on that airline (whatever it was!)!!
Wow, nice finds! Gosh I hope your suitcase makes it back to you. Gee you had bad luck with luggage both going there and coming home. Perhaps your suitcase went on it's own vacation!
Welcome back! I've followed along on your amazing trip and can't wait to see what else you came home with. I love the treasures you shared with us today!
Welcome back home, Linda! I pray your suitcase will come back soon! It will and you can show us the rest of your treasures. Love seeing your pretties and I'm so glad you had such a good time in Paris!
Be a sweetie,
Shelia ;)
I love the knife rests...they are overpriced in antique/collectible stores here.

Ohhh Linda!! Welcome home!! It's going to take at least a week for you to feel normal again! Hopefully you'll get your suitcase soon! As long as it was marked- I'm it will make it home!! Did you make it up to into the tower again?? Hard to believe that it's all a wonderful memory!! Now - you have to start planning for your NEXT trip!!
Love your bowl. Maybe your suitcase is taking an around the world trip :) xo Laura
Good grief! What gives with the luggage?? Can't wait to see your other treasures!
Luggage problems on the way there and the way home...good grief! I love the treasures you found and what fun memories you made while shopping for them. Those knife rests are gorgeous....I have never seen any before. Glad you had a wonderful time and are safely home resting up. Have a blessed weekend...:)

Always put what you buy and can't bear to lose in your carry on luggage...besides, that bowl may not make it home in one piece, with the suitcase having other things piled on top of it, and the luggage thrown around....
Welcome home! I do so hope that little dressing table pot made it home with you.
What great finds! Love the knife rests, amazing prices! Hope your suitcase shows up. Your photos from Paris are gorgeous!
Hugs,
Patti
Dearest Linda, I am so glad you enjoyed your Paris trip. Seems you have an awesome time and you really did have great weather. Love your treasures especially the knife rests, great swirls on each end.
Our luggage didn't make it with our plane on landing in Paris but was in our hotel room within a few hours. I do hope your luggage arrives on time. I didn't see your posts of your trip but I have gone back and read each of them. Wonderful trip.

Welcome back, Linda. Glad you found some vintage souvenirs. I don't have any knife rests or Quimper. Great finds.
Linda, Great finds! The shopping in Paris is the best, isn't it? So glad you and Flora Doora made it home OK. It was fun following your trip. I felt like I was there, and learned a few new spots I want to visit. Can't wait to see more pictures.
