Shopping – or not – home exchange in France continues
Today we designated as “shopping day” of our 2 week holiday in France, and we headed north to Lille. Thanks to some excellent driving by my husband, and excellent navigating by moi, we managed to go directly to an outlet shopping centre, followed by a large shopping centre.
I did buy a few items of clothing, and some house-y bits and pieces, but I took a few photos with my iphone of some of this things I DIDN’T purchase….
I loved these mini Le Cruset pots
and these heart shaped ones
but reckoned Easy Jet would not look kindly on some over-burdened suitcases, so I resisted…..just.
This colourful glassware also caught my eye
but again a bit of a challenge to get home.
And these were very cute kiddie glass tumblers
Loved this collapsible lunch box – now you see it,
now you see less of it!
This would have been easy to transport home, but the price was a bit too steep for a lunch box.
On to the main shopping centre –
these flower pot toilet brushes were fun
loved this cheese board
and these colourful serving dishes.
So, a bit weird perhaps to be sharing what I didn’t purchase, but there you go…..
What did you NOT purchase recently?!!!
wow i would have fallen in love with that shop!!! and you have such will power – love the colorfulness of it all
Hi Sweet JM
Yay – you took us shopping again and no danger to my wallet *grinning*
I have to admit I’ve DROOLED over the Le Cruset pots forever and a day. The heart shaped ones are darling!
I love that when we photo where we go and then publish to our blogs its almost like being able to “digest” what we saw. I wonder, really, if its good for our memory? Like I KNOW for a fact that my blog has worked countless times as my memory, my journal in that I can go back and look up almost anything?
Missing you, but not really, haha, because you’re always HERE for us. Love it, thanks for your blog and for being you.

I can’t believe they have outlet stores in France! Of Le Creuset, no less! What wonderful colors they have, and what lovely photos you took!
what a colorful shopping experience
OK – the flower pot toilet brushes? Cute, but really, are they functional? Because I am NOT turning a toilet brush that I just used upside down to stick it in a pot because SOMETHING MIGHT DRIP ON MY HAND AND CAUSE ME TO DIE.
Oh my gosh, I could die happy seeing those pots. LOVE!!
I’m stopping by from the SITS BBC ATL forum post, meeting my fellow BBC attendees. 🙂 Can’t wait to meet you!!!
