Plucky Maidens

Update: Right after I posted this, my brilliant daughter-in-love did some digging. It turns out this little painting is, in fact, worth some serious *gulp* money. Merci, Grace! Keeping it for now. 😌

I found this treasure during my travels yesterday…a sweet oil painting of Paris. The people! The trees! The kiosk shining brightly! The lights reflecting on the Seine under the Pont Notre Dame makes me a little weak in the knees. I haven’t had much luck identifying the artist. Can anyone help? Merci! Also…to keep or to sell?

This is a favorite spot to sit in the morning. In the sun! In January! In Portland! I just needed a place for my coffee cup. I found the topless table base in the “MISC.” section at the thrift. I headed straight to the shelves of dishes and dug until I found the vintage “cut crystal” glass tray. Voila.🌟 Oh! And each piece had a blue tag which meant half price on that day. Total spent: $6

So many people traveling on this frosty morning. ✈️
If you could go somewhere at the drop of a hat, where would you land?

Hey friends!

***My house is 120 miles away from Los Angeles, nowhere near the areas impacted by the fires.***

My sweet 2 BR 1 bath casita in Cathedral City is available for a displaced L.A. person or couple who might need a place to land. It’s a 2 hour drive from L.A. If a longer term rental is an option, I’m happy to chat about that.

If purchasing is a possibility, my asking price is $98,000. Beautiful, secure location, wonderful community, pool, putting green, pickle ball courts, dog parks. Includes Lois, the vintage turquoise golf cart! 🛻

That time in Paris when I was on a boat on the Seine and it was the Eiffel Tower’s birthday and there was a light show to celebrate and she was indigo blue.
