Last Saturday, the day before the Simp fair was spent on the famous and very large antique market in Paris called Porte de Clignancourt. We arrived after breakfast and had a wonderful day walking around and looking at all the beautiful antiques. I would love to bring some home...but it just couldn't fit in my suitcase. I did managed to find some metal pieces that I think will be good as molds for marzipan and chocolate however. Miniatures and 1/12 scale of course.
I took some pictures while wandering around and lunch was spent nearby with my husband Ray, Synnøve and Hans. Very nice food and wine. It was a great afternoon. Followed by a very nice evening when we met Rosanna, Shabia, Sylvia and Roberta for dinner.
This stall had lots of doll parts and nick nacks. I really liked how it was displayed.
The store with all the antique beads, metal finds and lace.
I must visit this market! I love antiques and I visit all fairs at Oporto... I am young but I love and I have antique furnish!!!
ReplyDeleteOH! how I envy you! I wish I was there ... I bought a lot of small useless junk! for example, those adorable little dolls!
ReplyDeletein my country there are no such stores, only to markets you can find something, but never anything like this!
You're lucky to live there....
Greetings from faraway Italy!
