Last Sunday I was helping my grandson and his girl friend
on their stall at a vide grenier / brocante fayre.
I haven't been to one of these for a long time
I always come back with something
I don't really need.
But since living in France I can't resist old books.
This one took my fancy.
full of pictures.
showing the beautiful architecture of the Paris buildings.
These two little gems, look like they have been well read.
Vintage French Literature School books.
I love the covers on them,
I don't remember my school books looking like these.
BOOKS... books.. books. I couldn't resist these.
most of the books I now read, I read as e-books on my Kindle.
But I must admit I do love turning paper pages .
Look at the date of this one
The title translates to...
'The Wise Women '
Although they probably won't be read,
They'll be part of my décor in the guest blue bedroom.
Books, letters, printed photographs
they are all slowly becoming things of the past.
We are told it's the way of life,
new technology slowly sneaking in.
How do you feel about this.
à bientôt
