old toile , old souvenirs

As long as I remember , I've always been around my father workshop ( atelier ), after school He came to pick me up and he drove me to his " world"

I was young and little and everything looked woderful to me

I'm 33 years and everytime I go to my dad's atelier , I still have this magical feeling

a little "bout de toile " par ici

Just by going there , it is so good to make a trip to my childhood

 

Antiques in Giens

Wherever I go I have to see antiques, our beachouse is not very far from a famous flea market in Provence : les puces du luna Park in hyères every saturday morning.
This week end , I didn't want to wake up early , so I found some others things to share with you

histoire de famille again

 

I have a passion for histoire de famille ( family's story ) about inheritance but I talk about cultural inheritance ...

my business is a story of a family of my family , we all work together

So When I find a piece of antiques that talks about family ...I'm very ...(guess)

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

surprise

I love the way he offers me presents

this time ...a little box into a little bag and into them a business card on which it is written

"a little surprise , later ..."

I still don't know what is the surprise , I know what is the brand of the present but that is all

Life is a game
