Paris 5 - at the market - again

When we left the room on this sunny morning we strolled around the market and found a couple of small surprises ....


A small box containing two small films and a viewer.  The film is of our Queen's CORONATION!!
How marvellous is that!
To find something about our Queen in the middle of a flea market in Paris!!
I bargained with the man and bought it at my price.  I am so pleased with it.  The film still fits in the viewer and it shows the carriage and horses and Abbey and .....

On another stall I found this tiny photograph album.  The writing says Studio "Express"

All photographic works

and works of amateurs

to 27, Metalsmith Road

(near the station)

Douai

At the market I found these photos inside and was very satisfied as I can use them on my ATCs.
On the back of this album it says - Expansions of all Kinds - which I think means 'Enlargements'.


Back at the Hotel, I examined this more closely and found that the 'blue' paper was in fact a religious reliquary.
On the front cover it says -
 In grateful remembrance of orphans-apprentices (from) Auteuil (West Paris)

On the back it says -
I want to spend my heaven doing good on earth ~ Sainte Therese.


Inside there are several 'compartments.
The left one contains a photo of a bearded man.  The second one contained a small medallion on small piece of linen with a plastic cover to protect it.  The writing says -
Medal and petal blessed (by touching) the relics of the little saint.
The next compartment is empty and the next one says -
Under the protection of St. Therese of the Child Jesus and Reverend Father Brottier.

More information of the Reverend Father here.  The material has also been 'touched' by Father Brottier who has now been Beatified by Pope John Paul II.

What amazing finds in this little market - I shall come back here and search among the stalls again!
