Last Looks



Before saying goodbye to the interesting folks at the fabulous Market Imports on that recent visit, a few more interesting items from around the world caught my eye.

Afternoon in a Provence sunflower field ~ June 2006


If you can't get to the sunflower fields of Provence this Summer ~ the rusty metal version could be planted in your garden!


Perfect blue buckets, some rust, no holes; gray galvanized metal watering cans (for the rusty sunflowers) and containers of every shape and size.

Several friends want to visit this shop and I will have fun showing them around. Next time I go I'm sure I'll find many more great things to share with you.
Note: Yesterday, July in New England was like no other - cold, early morning thunder, torrential rain falling like cats and dogs, glimpses of sun, amazingly beautiful cloud patterns, and fog so thick at the shore we couldn't see the ocean or anything else at times. Granddaughter Jasmin's words, as we drove across the almost invisible bridge into Newport, Rhode Island......."I feel like I'm in heaven". Plans changed, Boston today instead of yesterday - couldn't face sloshing through the city in rainforest conditions......beside, we didn't bring our wellies!!!
But it wasn't all bad......soon I'll show you treasures discovered in the most beautiful New Hampshire shop!
