What Recession?

Sunday brought us to the famous Paris flea markets 'Marche des Puces'. Really extradordinary collection of everything from vintage Chanel to amazing clocks and anything in between. We browsed a bit and got some prices on clocks. Mitch has been coveting a vintage wall mount piece for years. One thing that is clear is that France is apparently not in a recession. The stores are packed and the flea market prices were pretty staggering. The area surrounding our apartment is filled with independent designer shops and between yesterday and today there were the type of crowds you would see at Taste of Chicago or the day after Christmas at Woodfield. And, people were buying tons. It was almost a frenzy. I poked around in a few shops and the selections are amazing, but the prices are obscene (said the recovering shopohalic).

Oh well, C'est La Vie. Glad to see that the whole world isn't feeling the pinch :)
