This blog began with stories of consignment stores and vintage stores, but is morphing into nostalgic musings about disappearing or disappeared objects, and reflections on things that endure.

Clara's bow
Clara spent her last week touring Europe with me in Toulouse. We wasted no time hitting the vintage shops, where we searched for a dress that was longer than what Clara was used to wearing. We hit both Grouchos, but found our "bonheur" as the French say "Au grenier d'Anaïs" (grenier = attic, the French have "vide-grenier" which are the equivalent of garage or yard or boot sales, depending on which part of the English speaking world you belong to).
Clara also turned eighteen during her week in Toulouse. The dress she settled on had no label, and apparently was made in the 1950's.
nope...
hum...
Yes!
