Love something new every day, that sure beats, "Do something that scares you every day."
I suppose for some loving is scary.
For those of you following me on instagram thank you. It is easy to add videos so I add them daily especially during the French la Vie which I have been leading for the last several weeks.
A 1700 soup tureen from Moustiers, with iron wire repairs.
What a sacred act it is to restore that which we love when it falls apart.
To hold its pieces, tenderly turning them over, judging them only in the hopes of putting it back together without the slightest trace.
Loving something old again and again keeps it new.
Selfishly, I must admit I am glad that not everyone loves the brocante or old things.
The sweetest lock cover:
Two angels holding a bouquet of flowers over that which we long to protect.
Loving until the end.

I send my love to you always

Loving old things is a special trait. It saddens me to see that the younger generation in my family do not appreciate them. Antique dealers here tell me the same things. Years ago I purchased an entire set of very old Limoges fine china. A young man had inherited it from his grandmother and he almost threw them out. I used them for years always thinking about his grandmother to let her know that someone appreciated them and was using them.

Wish I could participate in a brocante trip with you! I have been inspired by your love of the imperfect to repair my antiques. I now have a friend who repairs my bonsai pots, china, and antiques. He even uses some gold to highlight the repairs!. Love it -
