Mes tresors d'Arcachon

Each time, I go home, my mum and I scour street markets, junk shops in search for new treasures. Last time we went down there was for Easter while Kate and Will were getting married in London. Steve spent a few days adding windows and a door to our tree house and I changed the hobb in our other home but that was about it because I couldn't really bothered with heavy DIY
Traditionally, there is a little place next to Arcachon that always organizes a vide-grenier (kind of car boot sales) where you can also enjoy l'omelette pascale (Easter omelette) with a little glass of wine. It's a very simple event. Often the weather is just glorious and spending the morning browsing for vintage treasures while ending with a nice little meal with family is simply perfect and just what you need on holidays.

1. vintage till 2. little chopping board to add to my collection in London 3. a little cross
4. a white tajine dish (I never cooked Tajines but I've always wanted a white Tajine dish to add to my collection of ceramic dishes and I found this one in the most unexpected place...in a DIY shop)
5. A little cream jug for 1 euro 6. vintage sunglasses for 1 euro. The pretty postcards on the walls are by Studio Violet

Chaque fois que l'on part chez nous, ma mere et moi faisons le tour des brocantes et vide-greniers pour trouver de nouveaux tresors. La derniere fois que nous sommes descendus c'etait pour le weekend de Paques alors que Kate et Will se marriaient a Londres. Steve a passe quelques jours a equiper notre cabane dans l'arbre de fenetres et d'une porte et j'ai juste change la gaziniere dans cette autre maison parce que franchement je n'etais pas tres motive pour faire du bricolage.
Il y a un petit coin juste a cote d'Arcachon (le port de l'Aiguillon) qui organises toujours un vide-grenier ou l'on peut egalement manger l'omelette pascale accompagne d'un petit verre de vin. C'est tout simple. Souvent, le temps est magnifique et passer la matinee a chercher des tresors et finir cela par un petit repas familial est tout simplement parfait et tout ce dont on a besoin en vacances.
