A little while ago I posted about a weekend trip to Paris that Dave and I took, during which we visited an antique market called Marché Vernaison. I also mentioned that we’d picked up some pretty cool loot, which I’ve only just gotten around to photographing!
Below is the outcome of about 1.5 hours (not kidding) standing in the hot sun, rummaging through boxes and boxes of old wooden letterpress type. Being the kind of people that we are – we couldn’t leave until we’d uncovered every ‘w’ ever made, in search of one that would fit in that spot perfectly. In fact we were so dedicated that we even checked through every ‘m’ as well, in the hopes that one could pose as a ‘w’. We didn’t have much luck, so modified the best ‘w’ we found.
By the end of our search we were completely and utterly covered in decades-old French filth.. it was so worth it!
