Here, at least in the south which is my only experience, they are called Vide Greniers which means empty the attic, and they're held collectively rather than in people's yards. I just went to one Sunday. Tis the season!Delana@dujourhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09319475424591739125noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5954745049002985163.post-47740198206410053892010-03-30T06:19:33.069+02:002010-03-30T06:19:33.069+02:00Another thing we have in common.

It doesn't matter where my stove and sink are situated...I leave a trail. I leave a trail just moving around a room! I hope all is well.<br />FF: I think there are worlds of difference between the north and the south. Culturally and geographically.

I was once told that good cooks like their stove as close to the kitchen sink as possible so they can wash their food and get it into the pan so as not to leave a trail of water on the floor or on the counter. You did good!!LoisWhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11390488203074128081noreply@blogger.com
