Magazines & Books

So much has been discussed and written about it in recent months: the corona virus. Oh how we sometimes miss that hug we would like to give or receive from a friend or your mother. What I also personally miss very much are the brocante markets. What I would give to just carelessly stroll among all those wonderful treasures again. Dwelling on that one beautiful item and returning home feeling truly content. There is, however, another positive side to this pandemic. Namely, that people often become more innovative when times are difficult. That is also the case with Trinidad and Johan from Atelier de Campagne.They didn’t sit still but joined forces with other sellers and organized a digital French brocante market together with Sarah Anderson of Chateau Sonoma in California. It was a resounding success. So much so, that they decided to organize a similar event every year. It just goes to show: every disadvantage has its advantage.
