Bonjour from France where today we went to flea markets, lots of flea markets, in many small towns throughout the Loire. Come along for some brocante and vintage shopping scenes.

If you like old French paper ephemera I have printable scans on Etsy and you can find those here:
etsy.com/shop/BookandPaperArts

Please check out my illustrated journal online course for all of the basics you need to know to start and keep on keeping your visual diary, whether you can draw or not. (I promise!):

And here is my online shop where you can also find vintage French ephemera for sale but please note I am not shipping until 18 May:
bookandpaperarts.com/shop2-2

To see my hand-curated French ephemera bundle boxes, go here and then drop me a line if you are interested:

At the end of today's video enjoy a clip of a band that was playing at one of the sales. They are called Gramms and try as I could I can find no other info on them but they were charming as all get out.

Join me in a couple of days when I will show this trip's haul!

Hope everyone is having a creative Sunday.

Kelly
