One of my favorite houses was a while back, the lawyer with the French wife. I fell in love with these two, obviously passionate people who did what made them happy. The house was filled with furniture and couriosities that vibrated love. It was weird, the house was in a totally strict looking sub-division (you know, the one where you do not dare plant a bold flower in the front yard.). When we drove up, I though "ugh", but was pleasantly surprised when we went in. The couple selling was not related, but the man got about excited about the stories as I was! :)....Than is how I got my beautiful blue mason jars, for pennies, as he thought "I" should have them. I found lots of bottling, fermenting, and wine making supplies. An old bottle of home-made Patisse....they had travel books and souvenirs from all over the world. We bought a few treasures that day, one of my favorite is the naked lady that was hanging in their hallway :).....she graces our bathroom now, and is one of a series of "Naked Ladies" published in the early 19oo's, according to the writing in the back.
