When you are reassembling the chandelier back at Lalonde, place soft cushions, blankets or piece of foam under the assembly area, so if any of the pieces fall, they won't break on a hard surface. Gorgeous chandelier!

I recently painted the frame of a chandelier from silver to gold and used thick layers of bubble wrap under it to cushion it. A thick layer of foam rubber works too. (Out of a cushion)

I just have to say, as an avid hiker/camper, the expert level s'more maker cooks with the coals, not the flame, and they patiently toast the mallow until it doubles in size and is a caramel color all over, the outside is crisp and the inside is melted ALL the way through. And if you're really on top of your game, you remembered to pre-soften your chocolate by placing the cracker with your chocolate on a clean rock by the flame.

This village in France looks like a Hollywood set. Being a citizen of the States I would bet that I have never been in any building/structure over 200 years old. If that even. Just incredible to think of what great Architecture they had 900 years ago and standing still today.

[@chasethecat3839]

Oh there's more old buildings in America than you probably realize. Definitely NOT as many as in Britisn/France and other countries nor of the size usually. I never noticed until I started doing some biblical and historical research. Take a look around the next time you go to town. Usually its court houses or government buildings snx they usually have Roman features. Many in America have been torn down or lost in the Great fires (Baltimire, MD, CHICAGO, IL, San Francisco, CA, etc (and most Catholic and other churches are 100-200 years old but were destroyed in fires and rebuilt. As we do not have many specialty builders, they do not rebuild in that style or they rebuild over the initial structure. You can tell by the windows at basement level rdbuilt with a different brick of concrete. You have to look close. I have hundreds of photos of these old buildings. Sorry to go on..just very passionate about historical architecture. 🙂

Forty years ago this summer I spent a few days in Sarlat, intrigued by the troglodyte houses, the truffles and pâté and the fact the town was a stronghold of the French Resistance.

Love how Stephanie is our permanent tour guide! She’s so good with the dates and stories!! I’m guessing she doesn’t know all this info by heart but is always so well spoken and entertaining!

Those armchairs are needlepoint with petty point for the people that's why their faces are so nice and detailed. My mom use to do that kind of work and everyone wanted her to do the needlepoints they bought because of her beautiful workmanship. She taught me how to do it, but I never had time to do it. I do all kinds of DIY"s. Maybe one day I will take it up. I always wanted to have "Pinkie" and "Blue Boy" above my bed, and "A Young Girl Reading" on my side of the bed, and "Dutch Fisherman" on my husband's side of the bed. I had all 4 needlepoint canvases. I was about halfway through the first two when we had a house fire and I lost them all. Maybe one day I will buy them and make them. It is such beautiful work and the are so wonderful to have! I can't wait to see your room when it is done! All my best from Alberta, Canada.
