The Provencal Market… Eygalieres… What we found

The Friday morning market in Eygalieres is a good one. This small village turns it on in the summer time and the stalls are full of temptation. We took our friends to not only see the village but also to see what all the fuss was about when it comes to a Provencal market… One of them had never been before… and seeing a place through the eyes of someone for the first time is so re-freshing… almost like starting over… Our first stop was baskets… My rule about baskets… you can never have too many

Then we moved on to the espadrilles… At the market in Eygalieres, they had so many gorgoeus colours and sizes… I went all pink… and am now wearing a stripey pair… I love them worn like a scuff with a caftan… It officially feels like summer when the caftans and espadrilles are the forefront runner in the wardrobe

Hats, like the baskets, can never be too many… This straw one with the grey ribbon came home with us… it looked so cute and perky, my friend couldn’t resist

My daughter and I, went with the wider brims and the pink bands… I still can’t believe I bought another hat

My last words on baskets…. ‘ no more’… What’s that expression… ‘famous last words’…? I think it could apply here…

For a touch of Provence

Espadrilles… here… and if you dare… here

A shopping basket to love… here… and a raffia darling… here

The Fedora hats… so quirky and stylish… here… and here… or for a wider brim… here

and Exploring the Flea Markets of France… an invaluable guide if you are planning a trip this way

Have a brilliant, brilliant weekend… See you next week… xv
