This morning, I went to un vide-grenier (the equivalent of a car boot sales) and the amount of amazing stuff I found was incredible….A vintage wooden tray that was used to put pizzas in the oven which I have now cleaned, bleached and will use to display cheeses to create a simple, rustic look to our diner table back in London,A blue metal tray with Mickey on it (dated circa. 1960), a toy white metal till (circa 1952), two orange phones for Mila but given her lack of interest in it, they may well be end up on my vintage toy shelf at home and this gorgeous leather jacket…An original Schott flight jacket the owner had bought in San-Francisco 15 years ago, nice thick leather, perfect fit, warm lining perfect for next Winter in London for only 30 Euros….I’m a happy girlHave you been to flea markets or second-hand shops recently?

Mila and I took a flight to go there last night. We got home very late and I started the day with a 9am appointment with my kinesitherapist in another attempt to fix my back, a visit to my beloved 94 years old mamie and a trip to Monoprix where I ended up spending a huge amount on gorgeous things for Mila in the Sale, then a nap and a trip to the beach where Mila made two little friends in no time…..And when leaving the beach, as Mila was waving to her new friends (who will see tomorrow at the beach), I managed to drive on the left hand side of the road (instead of the right!) in front of the girls’ mums, which must have been very reassuring to them…NOT!! So I basically went home with my daughter feeling crossed with myself, guilty that I could have caused a massive accident and ashamed to have been so flipping stupid but then I read these and it really lifted my spirit…We’ve just started working …
