For many reasons I like flea markets. My mother taught me that every object has it's story to tell,
even if many are no more useful. With some patience and a bit of luck, you can
find a small treasure in every flea market. In addition I hate waste and like
restoration of broken objects in order to use them back, for their initial
purpose or for something else.
To begin with an example, here is a nice couple of
brushes in olive wood I found in Saint-Paul Cap de Joux, a famous flea market
between the cities of Castres and Lavaur.

As you can see in the before & after pictures, after cleaning them and with a drop of olive oil these two brushes are good as new. I do not intend to change the cat’s moustaches and straighten them. He is funnier like this.
