  7. my favorite piece of French ephemera was a piece of paper, hand written over and over were the words " eviter les mauvais compagnons " .. translated " avoid evil companions ". .. i xeroxed it (showing my age there) and used it to cover a pair of lampshades for a pair of deco sconces ..

    loving your blog ..

    wishing you luck at warrenton ..
