Toujours un fruit-loop...
...just because that's the best way to cope with life :)
For the first time this holiday I visited my favorite proprietress, in my favorite shop, in my favorite place in France. I wasn't disappointed. I rummaged through old wooden drawers and dressers, finding treasure after treasure, all the while she was sat behind her sturdy wooden bureau puffing on her cigarettes and telling me about how tired she was. Sienna flitted in and out, helping herself to Madame's stash of 'gateaux' in the drawer with which to feed the ducks in the river that winds by the shop.
Madame allowed me to measure out my own lengths of antique lace with her wooden metre rule, all the while saying - "en plus, en plus ma cherie", giving me much more per metre than her prix suggested. I love her to bits :)
