I left New Zealand mid-2003, bound for Istanbul and a new lif. After two years, a Belgian guy lured me into his world, deep in the heart of Europe. For a long time I was an in-process immigrant. One day we married. These days it's about photography, a little red wine and wandering ... and so the journey goes.
The French have a way of turning very classic daily phrases into a work of art.
Notice how the sign (to be honest, I'm not even sure it is a sign) says "mes savons": it sounds like the soap was handmade by the one presenting the gift. The link to the perishable flowers makes it a classic.
Loved it.

A sign it is, and I loved it too ... once Gert translated it and then I had to photograph it.
ReplyDeleteThe 'free' translation:
'I have bought you soap because flowers perish and my soaps smell just as nice.'
