My French Country Brocante by Sharon Santoni

WELCOME TO MY FRENCH COUNTRY BROCANTE

"Chiner" is the French verb for hunting for special bits and pieces in brocantes and antique fairs. It's something I love to do here in Normandy. I "chine" with friends, with family and sometimes on my own. I love the thrill of the hunt, never knowing what I'm going to find. Sometimes I come home "bredouille", with an empty basket, but that's pretty rare. Even the most unpromising yard sale has something just waiting to be discovered.

Take your time to look around my brocante, you can read the latest posts, or click on the list of labels or check the pages. There is a currency converter at the bottom of the page. If you don't find what you are looking for, drop me an e-mail via one of the links, there is much more!
