I have been collecting cut glass and crystal trinket boxes for as long as I can remember, from antique shops in small seaside towns and Saturday morning auctions, and sometimes, rare charity shop finds -- French cut crystal with golden hinges and in perfect condition.

(And to P, now more than ever, there’s no one else I’d rather share, well, everything with.)

I love Paris early in the morning. The city is slowly waking up, chairs are starting to line up in front of cafés, streets are smelling of viennoiseries. Le petit-déjeuner is often a pan au raisins.
