Hello,
Lille, France 1st and 2nd September 2012
Here are a few images I took whilst wandering the streets, truffling for textiles, haberdashery and paper ephemera.
Found, bought and loved...

Well, that has to go into the calendar for next year, it looks amazing. Thanks for sharing. The anatomy book is superb and you got yourself a wonderful stash of buttons!
Just lovely!
Utter bliss, I can just imagine myself there xx

Well what a time you had, all the elements of a fab trip, gorgeous architecture, interesting details, shopping opportunites, eating and drinking, gorgeous purchases. I want to dive into photograph number two by the way!! just obssessed with piles of linen. Thanks for the images, I feel as if I have been. Oh what joys you bought, can't wait to see what you create. jayne x
Those title words were ringing a distant bell and now I know why..Harvest by Neil Young.. the second album I ever bought some few years ago now and just as magnificent today. As for La Belle France.. tres magnifique! Some beautiful prize truffles there m'dear. Love the colours of each photo in all of their faded splendour.

Thanks for sharing your visit... O how I wish I could... just love the wooden case and cards. Lucky you!
I would have bought the buttons too lol what a great day I would have loved it!!!!
Wow what a stash!
I went to a massive flea market there about 20 years ago.
I think that's where I caught the bug.....!
