The French la Vie group went to the home of an antique dealer friend of mine who opened up her trunk to show us some of her favorite antique pieces. Above is a calligraphy piece where the intricate details of the script were beyond anything I have even seen in calligraphy.

Each piece she showed us was more beautiful than the next.

The trunk held much more but I became enthralled with what I was looking at and intent listening to what she was saying

that I stopped taking photos…
