Hello Hudson!

Last Saturday was a great day for a mini roadtrip to Hudson and beyond. Hudson's a really quaint town in Quebec, just over an hour or so from Ottawa. They're famous for their massive houses, English roots and the Saturday antique market that takes place in a farmer's field.

There's always lots to see, and even if you don't buy (like me), it's fun to look.

Speaking of looking, check out these rows of mirrors, made from old windows and cupboard doors. The man who makes them gets all the windows for free, and turns them into mirrors. (We kind of got his life story. He was pretty chatty. Also, he comes from New Brunswick and still has the phone on which his mother called the hospital when she went into labour with his brother, who is now 68. See what I mean?)

Not quite bedknobs and broomsticks, but maybe bedframes and stools?

Lots of tables of just about anything you can imagine.

Also liked this light fixture.

Milkpainted furniture. I liked the armoires in the back.

Hooked rug on a bench.

Another use for old window frames.

We followed the market with lunch here. The view on the patio is better than the food, but it wasn't bad. Then on to shopping in Laval. A good day!
