Its never been known for me to be an early riser so to have started to get out of bed early to go to boot sales is really quite strange.After dragging myself out of bed at stupid o`clock I found myself (still in the rain)in the town of Periers, France.Thought it was going to be a waste of time in the rain but slowly, after sitting in a bar drinking coffee,the rain stopped and people started to arrive.Gradually people started to unpack and we ventured outside to see what was on offer.Have to say not a lot unless you like old bits of furniture full of woodworm or pieces of china full of cracks and chips!Strange what some people try to sell.Anyway after almost giving up to drink more coffee(one of my favourite pastimes)I found these charming old French greeting cards.Looking more like postcards than how we would today recognise greeting cards I think they date from the 40`s/50`s.Infact today in France you can still buy such style of cards.Made in France they really are quite charming,ideal to add to a collection.
