Floral textile borders unrolled at the Brocante, setting the mood: Cheerful, gay, while poppies waved and the sun warmed our backs. May is such a lovely time in Provence. But then when isn't a good time in Provence? Some mark months by holidays, birthdays, anniversaries and so do I, but I also I include-- May for Poppies and Cherries, July for Lavender, August for late night dinners outside, September for children going back to school and the village filled with their chatter....
The markets are gearing for summer: Colorful linen clothes with long beaded necklaces, stand after stand at the markets, one after another. "Made in Italy" which is a brand name, fill the markets in Aix, St Remy, Lourmarin, St Maximum, Marseille...

Thank you for requesting to be on the emailing of:
"Do you like this?"
If you would like to be part of the, "sending photos from the brocante to you directly group"
Please remember, when I send a photo I will be sending it out to several or more people at once.
If you like something you must tell me, and I will send you a paypal invoice for it. When I receive payment I will then tag it as yours. It is a "first response gets it" type of buying. Also it helps me if you simply say, "Yes or No" to photos I send to you, then I can have an idea of what you like or do not like.
Also, I will be away in June, so do not expect photos during that time, but by July... oh la la!

They sound the same every summer.
Perfect harmony, and yet on a hot summer day it can be overwhelmingly like a hard metal concert.
