Love Something New Everyday

 

Love something new every day, that sure beats, "Do something that scares you every day."

I suppose for some loving is scary.

For those of you following me on instagram thank you. It is easy to add videos so I add them daily especially during the French la Vie which I have been leading for the last several weeks.

 

 

 

 

 

A 1700 soup tureen from Moustiers, with iron wire repairs.

What a sacred act it is to restore that which we love when it falls apart.

To hold its pieces, tenderly turning them over, judging them only in the hopes of putting it back together without the slightest trace.

Loving something old again and again keeps it new.

The sweetest lock cover:

Two angels holding a bouquet of flowers over that which we long to protect.

 

 

 

Loving until the end.

  1. I get a huge amount of pleasure in buying something from a brocante that is old and battered and looking very sorry for itself. Bringing it back to it’s former glory, treasuring that piece once again just like it must have been at some stage and then guessing at it’s past and the history it could tell if only it could speak. It might be something tiny like a bowl or a cup or it might be larger, even a small piece of furniture. Every genuine antique has it’s own story.

  2. It shows how precious items like the soup tureen were that they were repaired after breaking to keep being used, for another couple hundred years.

  3. I love the idea of the lock cover and keys. Clever! Do it!

    those wire repairs are heartbreakingly lovely – and the lock drawer pull idea? GENIUS

  5. “What a sacred act it is to restore that which we love when it falls apart.” Beautiful. Applies to objets and people equally well.
