Hope you find some good vide greniers round your way!Emma Lee-Potterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17941667739851280595noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5514378008400567712.post-20142713118326875962012-07-31T16:49:53.666+01:002012-07-31T16:49:53.666+01:00The dining table sounds fabulous, Julia.
