Marché aux Puces in Europe

I am a junkie... I admit.

This one was last sunday, yesterday, here in Geneva. On friday I was already happy :)
Waking up, coffee & croissant at St Honore patisserie, Le Monde newspaper, and off to the market. A glass of wine here and there between talks and shots (have you realized how cheerful meals are in these markets? Behind the products there is always a table with cheeses, wine, salami, bread, olive oil shared by neighbors... I love this savoir-vivre).
Could have bought (oh well, let's say potentially) several items... This market was specially appealing for industrial design lovers. Buying or not, it's soooo ,uch fun to go and see and talk that was enough... for now (already planning my next weekend).

Oh, downloaded this iphone app to add an effect to the images :) It just highlights le cotè vintage of the pics.

More soon :)


Estou viciada... Admito.

Mercado de antiguidades do último domingo, ontem, aqui em Genebra. Na sexta-feira eu já estava feliz:)
Acordar cedo, café e croissant na patisserie St Honoré, ler o Le Monde, e ganhas as calcadas em direcao ao mercado. Um copo de vinho aqui outro ali, entre conversas e fotos (você já percebeu como as refeições são alegres nesses mercados? por trás dos produtos há sempre uma mesa com queijos, vinho, salame, pão e azeite, compartilhada pelos vizinhos ... adoro esse savoir-vivre).
Poderia ter comprado (oh, bem, digamos que potencialmente poderia) vários itens ... Este mercado foi especialmente atraente para os amantes de design industrial. Comprar ou não, estar ali ja é tao divertido que no final estou sempre satisfeita... por enquanto (já planejo o meu próximo fim de semana).

Oh, baixei u no meu iPhone que adiciona efeitos às imagens:) Para destacar o lado vintage das fotos.

Ate o proximo mercado :)

Just loving this...

When you mix Philip Karlberg's images, Nanna Lagerman styling, Elle Decor Sweden, DIY projects, vintage, clean&bright settings, transparency, this is what you get.
Hardly not to imagine oneself contemplating the rain, the stars or the snow fall through the glass ceiling. On your own or at two, certainly a bliss.
If your floor is too beautiful to be covered by a rug, borrow the idea of drawing one :-)
Can't find an original coffee table? A vintage wooden door, kept the original paint and placed on a pile of books or magazines can do the work.
And how about the sink over a sort of industrial-look console? Love the creativity of the setting.
