First of all, I am grateful to those of you that stopped by in June for our Client Appreciation Day and most of all to Linda Penkala of Corporate Pit Stop for giving seated massages the entire afternoon.  I know everybody enjoyed her magic and I can’t thank her enough for hanging out at Objects Found.  Her kindness and skill are always welcome.

 

What’s next?  Well, last month I asked you to hold that date…

 

 

I hope you can make it. I always have enough refreshments so that you can come straight from work.  Those of you, who have been at Objects Found book signings, know that we always have a nice time.  

 

 Please come – I enjoy seeing you.

 

What else? Well, today is Bastille Day and I just have to tell you that I went to Paris for the first time in my life and I had an absolutely wonderful time.  I learned so much. I went to museums and saw so many paintings and sculpture that I could not believe I was actually visiting. Wow!  Gargoyles! I sell a gargoyle once a month but I got to visit the ones at Notre Dame.  Eiffel Tower – Of Course I went up and guess what? At the very top, there is an apartment/office that Mr Eiffel used occasionally and they have wax figures of Mr Thomas Edison presenting Mr Eiffel with a phonograph – one that he had just exhibited at the Paris World Exposition. I have three of those in the shop. Yes – three – and the price just went up!  I visited flea markets but bought very little. I guess I was a little intimidated about negotiating in French (since I do not speak it at all) and Kirk had to remind me about transportable and affordable.

 

BUT – let’s talk about the dining. Was it great? Yes – but I am spoiled. I spend every day in the 800 block of Catonsville.  I can eat Beignets at Dusenberg’s while I people watch.  Regions feels like Europe and serves water in tall beautiful bottles and great food.  Atwaters Bakery is as wonderful as the boulangeries of  Paris. Dessert at I Scream for Ice Cream takes care of my need for chantilly (French for whip cream.)  Catonsville Gourmet delights me with their specials and the buzz of activity. Ship’s Café has outdoor seating like the cafes of Paris and the seafood is terrific while you people watch.  Frederick Road Fridays heard from Jennings Beer Garden is very Rive Gauche. I guess what I’m trying to say is – We have it all in Catonsville!  

 

So please stop by to see us any time! I can’t forget to mention the music at Lurman Woodlands Theatre. It just gets better all the time www.lurman.com.  Sunday August 22nd Objects Found is the sponsor for Junkyard Saints who do quite a bit of zydeco – French Country. What a coincidence!  See you soon. Enjoy Catonsville!
