Early Mornings




No matter how many really convincing reasons there often are to sleep in rather than wake up with the birds, when it comes to flea market days, I'm always glad I decided to get up and get going, even when it takes a little while to seem worthwhile.

Last weekend on the way out of the market, when I thought I'd go home empty-handed, this caught my eye...a pretty piece of antique fabric with red stripes and roses. Where has it spent the last one hundred or so years? That will have to remain a mystery, but it's one I wouldn't want to miss, not even for a few more hours of much needed sleep. :)

Bien qu'il y ait toujours plein de bonnes raisons pour faire la grasse matinée plutôt que de se lever de bonne heure, quand il s'agit des jours de puces, je ne regrette jamais de m'être levée tôt.

En quittant le marché la semaine dernière, quand je pensais rentrer les mains vides, j'ai été attirée par ce joli tissu ancien. Où était-il ces cent dernières années ? Cela restera un mystère que je n'aurais voulu échanger avec quelques heures de sommeil supplémentaires. :)
