Quelques fleurs.

Sous la pluie, pour l'instant, à Papignies...
Now under the rain, at Papignies...

Montmartre, Septembre 1984...

Isn't it a precious "souvenir"? I bought this velvet crucifix yesterday. It is completely timeworn and used but I loved it at first sight. I paid for it and quickly wrapped it in a bag.

Back home, a few hour later, I had a closer look... and look what I discovered then! Still glued at the back, an antique paper label, hand written with these french words and a date : 10 Septembre 1894... was it then a "Great day out" for the people who write this? Was it a spectacular travel, knowing that the basilique wasn't completed then and was certainly looking like a big construction site? Where they used to get to Paris? Who knows... I wonder who they were...

Treasure.
