Sounds like material for a novel to me...<br /><br />Our house had already been restored some years before we bought it, so there were no such interesting finds.

I feel confident that you in particular feel ownership of the ups and downs of your Provence. <br /><br />What an interesting discovery, made by your attention to detail. I wonder how many people would have seen this small piece of art and tossed it as having been 'only' painted on a newspaper... or would have overlooked it entirely. What a treasure!<br /><br />Bises,<br />GenieGenie -- Paris and Beyondhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12758801373365481655noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7004288060867455452.post-47011481712828225552011-07-04T01:18:51.881-07:002011-07-04T01:18:51.881-07:00What an interesting find...does truly make one cur...What an interesting find...does truly make one curious about the back story.Lisa Erinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06589169201767326784noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7004288060867455452.post-1264017036601670882011-07-03T16:29:19.608-07:002011-07-03T16:29:19.608-07:00Deborah: I plum in the middle of your deliciously...Deborah: I plum in the middle of your deliciously, perfectly, lovely book at the moment (Thanks to my lucky win) and I'll tell you that I am certain it's going to be one of my favorites of 2011 and probably an all-timer. <br /><br />What a wonderful storyteller you are!<br /><br />BelleAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7004288060867455452.post-22767731765800621392011-07-03T08:18:50.401-07:002011-07-03T08:18:50.401-07:00Blissful isolation in Provence...I envy you Debora...Blissful isolation in Provence...I envy you Deborah: it would never happen to me. Born and bred in Provence, I grew tired of having everybody knowing what everybody else was up to and eventually I escaped. Having said that, it is really funny that you found some old French newspapers when I found some old English newspapers in my attic. Maybe I am your French mirror image?Murielhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07669453005443249990noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7004288060867455452.post-34218493239651532122011-07-03T05:11:34.767-07:002011-07-03T05:11:34.767-07:00Lourmarin, la Provence, ses secrets...

Je suis très surpris et en même temps heureux de constater comment, toi, Deborah, Américaine, tu t'investis dans la connaissance de la région étrangère que tu as choisie. Bien sûr, rien n'est simple. Mais si tous les étrangers comme toi, ou amoureux de la Provence, pouvaient s'unir pour faire avancer les mentalités, alors, oui, le Lubéron pourrait être le plus beau pays du monde.<br />Bon dimanche, Deborah!et bravo!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
