Ah...November! Time to head out into the fall air, but keep the home fires burning.
One of my favorite chilly autumn memories is of a trip I took to Paris a few years back. I was spending a couple of weeks there, just wandering around...and I ended up passing an inordinate amount of time in the little antique and estate jewelry shops of the Left Bank. The variety of art deco pieces astounded me, and it was so wonderful to see all of the delicate yet pronounced shapes of the deco asthetic put to use in jewelry and adornment. It's such a weird and wonderful look. Hooray for triangles!
That is one of the aspects I love about Bon Bon Oiseau...There is a lovely commitment to a strange asthetic. I think of those rambles into rare places, a fortune teller's trinkets with secret meaning...souvenirs.
Deb, you were missed yesterday!
wow--suse--i just saw this...thank you so much for the thoughtful and beautiful words...(and i missed you all too...)
