The Charming Vendeuse of Avignon

On Tuesdays in Avignon there appears the most charming and small of brocantes, just in the square in front of les Halles. There we met Maria Teuch, who is as beautiful as her wares, and she graciously let me photograph her and her things. And a good thing too, for France TV3 contacted me for these photos to use in a story about Maria and her stand at this little brocante! {the series, called "Jour de Brocante" airs event Sunday on France 3 at 1:40 pm} Come see her gorgeous things as we did on the Chic Provence Design Tour 2014!
