The picture framer sounds like an artisan and someone who appreciates the history of items. I hope you give him more framing projects.<br />Imperfect items given with love and appreciation mean more than a pristine item purchased new. A then eight year old neighbor kid did a drawing of my poodle years ago. He really worked hard on it and it is treasured(and in a fancy gilt frame).

What kind people to give away something so precious. They know that you will treasure and keep it safe for future generations to enjoy. Perhaps someone in the future will return it to that beautiful little village in deepest France profonde.<br />That puddle Sophie's drinking from looks more like a small lake! This morning we took a walk along by the sea and it was quite rough too - lovely to listen to and watch the waves breaking on the rocks and shore.Coppa's girlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16459503600694841117noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-860373600653353661.post-78714630325597185312022-11-17T11:34:35.354+01:002022-11-17T11:34:35.354+01:00How very valued you all were to be gifted such a t...How very valued you all were to be gifted such a thing.

I was surprised to see that quote from John Quincy Adams, as I had just seen it the other day on Twitter, posted by a Commander of the Georgian National Legion. It struck a chord then and I'm sure it will do so for your friend as well.Lisa in Francehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06080757130655335246noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-860373600653353661.post-45944257315634387732022-11-17T08:21:51.191+01:002022-11-17T08:21:51.191+01:00The plate is such a wonderful memento of your prec...The plate is such a wonderful memento of your precious time in France profonde. <br />It comes as no surprise this dark, wet morning on the Scotland's east coast, gales still ripping in across the North Sea, that Angus might be looking longingly at adverts for hotels in lighter, sunnier and less windy climes...WFT Nobbyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14315143664245246248noreply@blogger.com
