flea market in la vielle ville {nice, france}

since my husband went golfing in cannes yesterday, i decided to venture out on my own {with olivia of course} to la vielle ville...the old city, my favorite part of town. so as i was walking down the promenade reliving the memories of my study abroad in nice in college, loving the gorgeous weather, just as i thought it couldn't get any better...i ran right into the flea market. incroyable!





























{just to prove that i was actually there taking the photos with my sweet little sidekick!}

    Oh wow. That looks incredible, how did you resist not buying everything in sight?!

    So my B said he talked to your B yesterday for a sec on g-chat. It's a good thing he didn't mention golfing in Cannes or he may have broken Bret's little heart. Glad you're having a great time!

    I'm so glad you're out having a wonderful time (and outdoor shopping in gorgeous weather-double jealous).
    Please tell what you're bringing back- my favorites were those dishes, the lamps, and I probably would have spent way too long looking through those pages of prints (old books?).
    miss you here- glad you're having fun!
