I had a lovely day teaching in different parts of Toulouse today - in a
chateau this morning (now part of a modern business) and in a second French company this afternoon. In between the two lie various Troc Shops...
It seemed to be vintage china day. These pleasant pheasants have been used as a sugar bowl - there is still sugar inside!!! It's soaking in the sink now...
This is an art deco-type shallow bowl with a small pedestal -
here's a bit more detail!
This is a copy of a vintage American milk bottle - frankly, I've just always wanted one and it was 1€...
A tile from the owner's parents' home in the mountains, I'm told...
This beautiful stand was very cheap, because the base is sadly crumbling. I think I'll be able to use it with care, though.
And even the dog is interested!

As ever, you found some pretty things. What a shame about the base of the stand, it is so very attractive.
Some pretty finds Floss especially the pleasant pheasant sucrier ... love the sound of trocing too x
Lovely finds. Trocing sounds fab!
You scored big!!!
Very nice finds, my favorite is the art deco bowl. Looks like spring has arrived for you.

thanks for your comment on my blog, the wooden box you found sounds great, would love to see a photo......and lovely china too! xx
Oh a very successful haul :)
That sure is one posh sugar bowl - what are you going to use it for??
I think I'm going to use if to put flowers in, Vicki - I'll give it a go...
Great buys, I haven't had too much success recently with CS's but did manage to bag 1 glorious terrine the other day which made up for the other times I didn't find anything!
Lovely, pretty finds ... :0)
Very brave of you Floss to leave your dog so close to such pretty treasures ..mine would have left a not so nice souvenir...
