A Cache of Cachets
A most wonderful brocante find - an antique folio of engravings to share with a friend.
Pages and pages of original cachets that make my inner fontaholic swoon.
Yet another reason to travel the backroads of France.

Carte Postale
La Tour Eiffel postcard, 1910.
Henri writes to his dear parents in Liege at 10 in the morning.
It is regarding a position he has been offered in a large brasserie in Baden-Baden. The pay is 12 marks per day, plus room and board.
He urgently requests their opinion and begs that they write to him at their earliest convenience.

In the Time of Cholera
The cemetery was abandoned in the 1800s.
Most of the gravestones and markers have crumbled, chipped away by winter winds and rain.
The few that remain pay tribute to the lives lost too soon to cholera.
Dry leaves crunch underfoot.
A feral cat slinks along the shadow of the wall.
Hush.

Cendrillon
I cleared out the Etsy shop when I returned from my travels, not realizing that people had things in their shopping carts that they were still interested in. To those of you who have emailed asking, "What happened to ... ?" thank you for your patience. Shop updates will begin later this evening. French keys, perfume labels, antique documents and ephemera will be back on the shelves soon.
This beautiful little engraving is from an 1852 volume of Cendrillon that will be listed as soon as well.

Brocante Companion
There are a thousand and one dogs at the brocante.
This little fellow was my absolute favourite.
The missing tooth.
The pirate bandanna.
Those eyebrows!
