While some were sleeping on this Sunday morning, early at the brocante I've been truffling pictures... I found that little album and since then I can hardly look at something else.
It is filled with sepia pictures taken around 1914 in Belgium... The Belle Epoque Promenade begins at Ostende, on the beach and at the terrace of the Villa Laura... Then we can see Minou and Annette with their nanny and with their familly in the garden... and what a garden! 
Pictures location is Thuin, a very picturesque town of the rural Belgium and here are even some vistas of the town taken by the photograph. Thuin is still well known today for its terraced gardens. And the familly here seems to have been owning one of these at that long gone era. 
We can see these "Edwardians" in front of their greenhouse and obviously there was nothing missing in their terrace's decor...
Look at these chairs, at these furnitures, at the planters, at the cast edges... The "Belle Epoque" really earned her name. Everything was such elegant.
But then the war came and who knows what happens to that happy familly...
