A Grandmother’s Attic

You know that scene in Amélie when she finds a box full of a boy’s treasures from decades in the past? That’s how I felt stepping into this attic.

If you love antiques like I do, you may be interested on how I purchased antique clocks to decorate my house and also add it to my collection.

And to finish off an afternoon of exploration, crêpes made by a real Breton grandmother. The best I’ve ever tasted.

   Disqus really needs to install a Facebook style ‘Like’ button for posts!
