Sunday Antiquing
2026-09-13 11:00 UTC by Corey

Some of the antiques that caught my eye.

Their value isn’t what drew me in. They may be rare or common, expensive or inexpensive, practical or completely impractical. I may not need them, and I may not even want to own them. They simply caught my eye.

My cousins Alma, Mike, Shelley, and Neil joined us this weekend as we wandered...

Cream, Chocolate, butter, sugar- repeat.

Aix en Provence

Facades, the color of sunshine. 

Four dauphins, do you know the meaning? 

Calissons: have you had one? Do you know the story behind them? 

When you were walking about remember to look up: religious statues are for watching you. 

A must see; Hotel Caumont—go there for lunch. 

Don’t bring clothes; (honestly) just...
