In life , I 'm very sensitive to the charm of little details : a smile , a world , a gesture ..
For home , it is the same I'm very sensitive to the charm of small details in antiques decoration and architecture
detail of a mirror in Avignon , I think this is the face of the owner
An heart , a drawer given for a wedding's present
a foot of an empire drawer ...
Inlaid on box
Faces of the owners on the facade in Marseilles
Angel on a facade in Nice
We have to pay attentions, to enjoy and to look at everything we are surrounded with
i look and look...sometimes i stumble becaue i am looking...thank you for sharing these beautiful images...blessings, rebecca

I agree! There are so many beautiful things around us and it is so easy to miss them when we are running about so busy all the time!

Melanie,
Thank you so much for visiting me and for your comments.
I very much identified with this post. I am always looking for the details in everything. I would carry a magnifying glass around if i could. Life is beautiful! I hate that I have to wear glasses now. I feel that I miss so much.
I would love to see some of the photos you have collected.

Absolutely - there's an expression in English - "God is in the details."

These are so interesting. I hadn't even thought that the faces on the mirror and on the facade of the building could be of the former owners...
