If you wonder why I have not been posting blogs as of late, it’s because just before Thanksgiving I wrapped up my latest antique buying trip to Europe. This particular foray to the European continent lasted almost two weeks, during which I found lots of beautiful antique treasures (to say the least). We are working as fast as we can to upload them onto our website. The first antique container of our finds will be arriving to Baton Rouge in December (John worked very hard and this antique shipment is already on line for your viewing). In January we will be receiving three antique containers ~ two in Dallas from France and Italy, then one more for Baton Rouge.
My buying trips are always an adventure. I never know what I may find or what obstacles will I encounter. This trip was no exception. As we traveled through the European countryside in Italy, France, Belgium and Holland, fog was our constant companion. Never before have I encountered such tenacious weather that seemed to follow me from country to country, kilometer after kilometer! After days of these persistent, misty elements I began to take photos of the haze that constantly shrouded us. Concealing the ordinarily beautiful surroundings of the European countryside, the fog became our hazy companion and under this veil my camera revealed some interesting images that I would like to share.
The scenery of landscapes blanketed in fog revealed an obscure splendor I did not anticipate. It may never occur to us to look for inspiration in the mist, but may we always welcome creative visions even when they may visit us in uncommon forms.
Instead of "gorillas in the mist" it's now "antiques in the mist" – lol –
