Encounter with Metallic Bead

During the Belle Epoque period, when Paris was brighter and more gorgeous then ever, noblewomen would go to parties with Bags of shiny Beads.
The sparkle of those Metallic Bead, which suddenly appeared during entre deux guerre (between the first and the second world war) and disappeared just as fast, were, to me, the sparkle of Paris itself.
I still cannot forget how my heart rushed when I encountered one of these Bags at an antique store in Paris.
This "little dream", so full of everything Paris meant to me, I would love to pass on to the generations yet to come.
This is my dream and my wish.
