And now I see that you have had other health woes (yuck!) But luckily you conclude the year with this beautiful and successful acquisition. It is a stunning piece, and maybe fate would remind you that bad luck does not last forever; I'm really happy for you. I take this opportunity to wish you a 2016 more serene, and I want to share with you the purpose to be MORE present.<br />With unchanged affection,<br />FloraFlorahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06227561626918480289noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3518662277111990267.post-7374102727736648762016-01-01T16:44:05.776-06:002016-01-01T16:44:05.776-06:00Merci Catherine.

Maybe you're right about the reason for no other bidders, but maybe no one was looking for it because it is so rare? And maybe it was meant to be and you could close this nasty year in such a positive way! I truly hope it is a preview of your 2016, wouldn't that be nice?Fabulously Smallhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02900803753608126554noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3518662277111990267.post-23983889020823359352015-12-29T09:56:57.417-06:002015-12-29T09:56:57.417-06:00What a masterpiece!
