The candy canes, the globe bank!<br /><br />I realize how long it has been since I prowled through a vintage shop or better still, a true dusty musty wreck of a New England antique store, the sort of place I explored as a child with my mother - always a treasure to be found, and cherished. <br /><br />Just looking at these pictures is like breathing more deeply. Perhaps that's what I need to make some time for, by way of meditation. Getting lost for a little bit... in a country store or a rambling antiques market.

And I will have to dog through my memory about the whole A&F thing. I Do remember the stores "before" though and how high end they were. What a change!<br /><br />And Remi and I were invited up to the cockpit only once--it was actually here in France (I think we were heading to Nairobi) and it was during the day but we got to see the Alps! It was a breath-taking experience, truly. I can only imagine what it must be like at night amidst the stars...<br />Bisous from Arles!Heather Robinsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01316279029849503437noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2498719763759636773.post-46661913313495338572012-12-09T11:51:03.662+01:002012-12-09T11:51:03.662+01:00No Twitter for me Bella Ella.
