Brocante (junk sale)


Last Sunday (Sept. 9) we had the village Brocante (junk sale) in front of our house. The entire Rue du General de Gaulle was blocked off and everyone set up shop. It's funny how we all love to go through someone else's junk. French treasures seemed so much more exotic. The brocante started at 7am and didn't end until 5pm! It was a bit of a social event for the village.



My brother Paul came to visit for the weekend. He was on business in Switzerland and popped in for 24 hours. We loved having him here. He was able to attend Spencer's first big soccer game, dinner at the home of Christoph Loch & Ingela Bjork, church and a walk through the brocante. The kids had a great time showing Uncle Paul their new corner of the world. He has dubbed all of the girls "prissy pink princesses". Lilly cried when he had to go.
