I didn't buy a santon this year in provence but was completely charmed by this handmade partial "pointu" boat. The creator has even made the wood and paint seem like the old ones. We noticed some shiny new broader based fibreglass pointus in the Carqueiranne port this time. They don't have the same appeal as the old wooden ones.
Our neighbour, Chris, arrived home from the US Open the same day we got back and gave Jim this great gift of a hat from it. Chris is a keen golfer so quite an exciting event for him to attend.
And of course I couldn't resist buying another provencale tablecloth at the market...I hadn't seen this one with the poppies before.
