S...My congrats on the great deal you made in Paris.<br />Somehow it seems the best deals we make are the ones, we expect the least.<br />I bet it is a lot of fun and very interesting to shop for antiques in a country like France and especially in a city like Paris.<br />The Flea Market in Paris is very popular all over the world. I heard people talking about it in Germany while I was there for a visit a couple years ago.<br />Thanks for sharing this great story.<br />Best Regards<br />Paula JoPJ @ Home Accents | Garden Accentshttp://cleanstar-homeandgardenworld.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6005324767450032096.post-29718196390476705522010-12-01T10:48:50.094-05:002010-12-01T10:48:50.094-05:00Such a great story!

It is comforting to know I am not alone in this type of quest...have been ' there' many times!<br />Your are lucky to have a 'partner in crime'; my honing abilities (especially at places like Brimfield) are getting worse as I get older. But, my ability to forget about it is getting better...I can not decide if this is a good thing! A few girlfriends and i went to Paris last spring. Since we could not FIND the Flea Market (: I guess we MUST return. Thanks for your beautiful photos and blog. I thoroughly enjoy reading it!Maria Wheeler, Simply Cool Stuffhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11965111647762142124noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6005324767450032096.post-63013808164156997832010-11-29T16:33:29.044-05:002010-11-29T16:33:29.044-05:00I love those kind of stories...it was meant to be....I love those kind of stories...it was meant to be.

SOOOO funny! And what a GREAT story behind the beautiful frame. It was totally meant to be.

That aside, like you, I have a hopeless love affair with objects. Shape, age and patina all speak to me and sleep has eluded me many a night thinking about a beautiful item I have seen somewhere. I still remember every missed opportunity, but the things I love best all arrived with a story, just as your frame did. Looking at your photos, I can see there are many happy endings in your home.<br /><br />Carolsmilla4blogshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17516736514127098070noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6005324767450032096.post-20511406275875835962010-11-27T21:35:46.320-05:002010-11-27T21:35:46.320-05:00Hi Joan,
