    Thanks for the mention. I tracked back to you from sitemeter this morning and saw it.
    If you are going to Italian flea markets you’ll find them in most towns but they don’t advertise them anywhere but the town (strange) I have been going there for years and always find quite a few.
    If you are going to London you must visit Sera – sereoflondon.com I think you’ll love it.
    On Paris – did you know that every town has a Depot Vente where locals sell their stuff. The more up market the town the better the items. If you go on the 1st of the month everything has been reduced that was there the previous month. It’s a great way of finding classic French furniture and accessories. My daughter who lives in Paris introduced me to them recently and I have found some great stuff for my Ghost Furniture range.
    If I can help you further then don’t hesitate to email me.
    Happy hunting
    Di

    Just checked your site and noticed you already know about Depot Vente. Love your shopping trip idea. I will do a post on my blog about it this week.

    Hi Di! Thanks so much for the great advice. LOVE Sera’s website and didn’t realize she has a store. I’ll be there so it will definitely be on my TO DO list!
    One question: How do I find the info on the depot-vente listings? Would that be in Aladin?
    Ok, one more thing, where is your Ghost Furniture?

    Hi
    Sorry I missed this reply. A bit late now for the info on Depot Vente. If you can send me your email address I will send you some photos of the Ghost Furniture. We are launching it in February.
