A French Brocante Find: A Breast and Bubbles

French Brocante- Paris apartmentl

 

"Look what I bought!" I texted French Husband, "A French brocante find for the Paris apartment!"

Even though he was miles away I could hear his stunned thought silence.

I sent another text just to egg him into saying something, "Isn't it wonderful! She is blowing bubbles from a seashell. And her breast is exposed."

Several minutes went by when at last I heard from him, "I like it."

When he got home I questioned him, "Really? You really like it? Or are you just saying that? Do you want to know how much I paid for it? Do you think I should be focusing on a stove, a toilet, a sink, light fixtures…."

And his response, "If you want to cook, go to the bathroom or have light in the apartment well then… if you want the apartment to look like someone walked out and left it as is after a hundred of years… If you are happy…"

I like him.

  5. I love the painting!! I wish you were here to go to Marburger with me on Friday. It is raining there today, tomorrow and Thursday thus my delay until Friday. Can’t wait to see what I can find!! Melinda

  6. In other words, the Amercan expression of “if mama ain’t happy ain’t nobody happy” is actually universal. Yann is a very smart man.
    Nice painting!

    How wonderful that you are able to concentrate on the really important things, and have a supportive husband. We are only refitting two master bathrooms in our home and I feel pressured to select all of the fixtures first. I thin tomorrow I will go accessory shopping.

  10. Great find and I love your conversations with French Husband :-).

  11. When a husband “gets” his wife, magic happens. I love that French Husband understands what is important to you and encourages you. True love is loving a painting of a woman with a breast exposed blowing bubble in a sea shell because you spouse saw its beauty.

  12. Beauty is in the eye of the beholder (objects and people) – great post!

  13. Of course you like him! What a great guy! I cannot wait to see that apartment when you have it all decked out in its authentic finery!

  14. brilliant . . . loving . . . a keeper!

  15. When seeing the email, reading the title of the post, I couldn’t wait to click on it to see what story was behind the bubbles and the breasts! As usual it was delightful…You and your hubby are delightful! The painting was delightful, and the Paris Apartment will be too!
