While staying in Hotel College des Doctrinaires, Papa and I walked up and down Rue Nationale every day several times. We popped in various brocante shops, and on one visit, I spied a large painting of fruit and flowers, in a gold frame. It looked perfect for our kitchen. I went back a couple of times to see if it was still available and yesterday afternoon, I went in and bought it. I carried it home and Papa and I hung it above the fireplace in the kitchen. Our house is slowly feeling more like home.
