MORE OLD STUFF AND A NEW SCARF

Back in October we went to a local brocante/vide grenier for a nosey.  It's a popular thing to do on a Sunday and the weather was pleasant.

It was not a great brocante, mostly old children's clothes and toys and lots of stuff that had clearly been kicking around in people's barns for years, brought out every year to put on a table and see if anyone will buy it.

Empty handed, we were heading back to the car when Nick spotted a box of stuff under a table containing, amongst a load of other junk, this candelabra.  It was pretty dirty and some of the ivy leaves were a bit bent but for only 1€ it seemed worth a gamble.  It cleaned up very well, the bent leaves were easy to straighten out and with a fresh coat of paint looks perfect for Christmas.  Bargain.

Last winter I knitted myself a scarf in green.  Half way through I found this multicolour yarn in Centrakor and thought it might be fun to make another one.  I'm looking forward to finding out how the colours work out.
