Exhibition at Chez Penny

An friend who is an artist and a sculptor asked me yesterday if he could use the shop for an exhibition. I said yes, of course - it is great to see something going on there.

Journee Artisanale

Today was the annual crafts day in Le Dorat, so I thought I would open the shop...

I don't have my crafts here in France, but I had lots of brocante that I wanted to sell.

It was good to see the town busy - cars parked all down my street...

It was a lovely sunny day, and a great atmosphere of what I think summer is all about.
