Grande Vente Emmaus...

We'd noticed the signs last week and made a mental note to go today to the Grande Vente Emmaus, at Chatellerault. Against the odds we remembered and took a trip down.

This is what Colin would like to have purchased...
or the tall object in the middle here....

However, sense prevailed and this is what we bought..
Eight matching glass serving dishes, a glass cake stand, a cut glass serving dish and a mixing bowl and a fluted loose bottomed flan dish - all for the princely sum of €8.30. From there we went to the book and clothing hall and lost ourselves for an hour or so!

Everything is sold by weight; €2 per kilo for general bric-a-brac; €2.50 for books and €3 for clothing

The sale continues over the weekend at the Parc d'Expo, in Chatellerault.

There never seems to be a sale when we are around. Tim is relieved! I think you managed some bargains.

That cake stand might come in handy.........
