Vintage French Seed Packets



I bought these old French seed packets on Ebay several years ago...
...and just noticed them again in an old wire rack where they have been quietly residing...



Aren't the graphics and French lettering wonderful?
... and the narrow and small size is sweet....
...so different than those here in the US ...even the vintage ones.





I have been looking at my old things and collections with fresh eyes...
...trying to discern what you might find interesting and blogworthy.







These tiny French seedling pots came from the Brimfield Antique Shows a number of years ago.
I think they are getting harder to find now.



I am pretty excited as I will be visiting Brimfield toward the end of next week with my flea friend, Paula. We go every year in May and always have such a good time together....
hunting for treasure amidst hundreds and hundreds and hundreds of dealers!
The weather can be unpredictable though...sometimes it is freezing...
...this year I think it will be beautiful...
(I'm keeping my fingers and toes crossed).



I am looking forward to meeting a few blogging friends in person at Brimfield.

Jackie from Bliss Farm Antiques and Theresa from Time Worn Interiors will both be located in the New England Motel field selling their treasures!

It is always fun to actually meet up with friends who you have gotten to know through bloglandia...
...We already know that we have so much in common and love many of the same things!



Oh and I am quite sure I found my two French wire carriers at Brimfield too.



I think I will feed Mr. Flea hot dogs the rest of the week so I can squirrel a little food money away for Brimfield shopping!

He won't mind a bit (about the hot dogs).



Yes, I'm definitely beginning to get that "oh boy...what will I find ?" feeling!



I need to make a list....

What would you put on your list?

Which blogging friend would you love to meet at Brimfield?

Are YOU going to be there?



Oh yes, Aunt Laura babysat this afternoon for two of my favorite little girls....
...the other one was too fast for me so I didn't get her picture...next time!

Have a great night and a wonderful Thursday!
