IIf any of you wonderful customers of ours have bought some of our delightfully different objects of the past week or so you may remember reading in the descriptions that some of the Articles such as the magnificent Tapestry Monogrammed Pelmet, the Silk Threads still on Original Bon Marche Store Cards etc originated from a House clearance of an Actress? Well, whilst doing my detective work this week (amongst all my other jobs) & after a second liason with a certain Vendor friend of ours...the very same French Gentleman who did the house clearance from where these exquisite French treasures came from, we talked at length & have discovered who the mystery lady was......her name was "Rose Meryss"-an Operetta Singer & Actress,born in Bordeaux in 1850 as Marie-Rose Baudon who was on stage in Paris between the 1870's-1890's in productions such as "Fantasy" & "Skating".We were given a fascinating insight when we were allowed to view fabulous Antique Portrait Photographs of her, and of her Actor & Actress friends which had been kept from Sale which were signed & written upon in her own handwriting-such wonderful memorabilia of a Past Life-it almost breathed new life into the objects now making their way to all corners of the world for other to cherish!
There are still more delights to come including a Fabulous Large Art-Nouveau Bed Throw & Exquisite & Original trinkets & Keepsakes from this same home......
Meanwhile...back to reality and we have been paying for the Veterinaire to take more holidays....(or keeping him in wine or Cognac or whatever he partakes in)......our second old lady "Mia" has been taken poorly AGAIN.......huge mass swelling on her shoulder and feeling very sorry for herself (not good,-she resembled Quasimodo for a while)...........
..........MAYBE NOT!..............
however,after another fortune spent on Cortisone injections,Antibiotics,Anti-inflammatory Painkillers & Diagnostic bloodtests...she's showing some slow but sure signs of improvement and has,thisafternoon been outside sunbathing and rolling around on her back with her legs in the air grunting (not very ladylike but still.....!).Unfortunately one day all our dogs become senior citizens and need our love and attention more than ever-how I WISH they lived as long as humans....
How I wish they could all be forever young.......this was our Mia a good few years back,soooo beautiful!
Meanwhile back to the grindstone so am going to have a mammoth sorting-out session,and you will have a wonderful selection this next week of a little something for ALL tastes & pockets,until next time...
BON WEEKEND!!
