Someday I'll live in . . .

And today's the day! After some searching, I finally found a spot to fill the little hole in my heart and it's in Duras, Lot-et-Garonne, France. I am at my happiest whenever puttering around my tiny cottage, whether that's working on a decorating project, reading in my cozy nook, or sitting on the balcony with a glass of wine thinking peaceful thoughts. When I started this blog, it was about what I wanted "someday" and I'm delighted to report that someday is NOW.

Brocante shopping in Eymet

Well, if you like antiques and assorted vintage junque, the place to be today was Eymet. The entire village becomes a giant bric-a-brac shop with maybe 200-300 vendors selling everything from baby clothes to this sweet Nash Metropolitan, which I thought would look great sitting in front of the Clocktower Cottage.

Early on I found a pile of majolica plates in my favorite colors. I bought them from an elderly British couple who said they bought them on holiday in Granada, Spain in 1977. They were 1 euro each.
