Here are my little purchases from France.
Mother of Pearl buttons -- found at this antiques market near the Place de la Bastille. The card wasn't bent when I got them but while packing to come home I accidently jammed a couple magazines on top of it inside the pocket of my laptop case so there you go.
They had cool other things there like old laces, tablecloths, movable dolls eyes, blue glass bottles, and lots of botanical prints but I wasn't in the mood to buy them all and it wasn't like I needed them all either. I'll just keep them in my memories.
Here's some Anny Blatt (red) and Bouton d'Or (orange) that I bought in the Marais. They kept the shop open so I could hae a look. I'll make a little baby sweater or something with it. Maybe I might even knit a shrug or something like that.
