Sleeping in a Closet? - Lit Clos Vintage Postcards
vintage postcards
Yep. These women are sleeping in a closet. It is COLD in Brittany.The thick doors protected sleepy heads from from the whipping winds of the Atlantic coast. 
The chestnut beds called 'Lit Clos' were often intricately carved with a ship wheel motif. The Breton’s livelihood was very tied to fishing and shipping:)
I think that I would like to sleep deep inside a box.
Far away from light and the ticking of the clocks.
For some added privacy, I'd install some locks.
When it's time for breakfast, the chef just simply knocks!

Would you like a piece of Hello Kitty zomble cake? Breast or thigh?
Editor: Weren't you planning on posting about the pet cemetary outside of Paris that was built in 1899?
Marie: I'm on task here! Maguerite Durand's (famous french feminist) lion is buried here:)
Here's is a well done video over the cemetary. It'll make you dizzy at first but the closeups of the tombstones are fascinating!
My Hometown - Saint Fargeau
vintage postcards
This is a vintage postcard from Saint Fargeau! I live in this little town:) The middle of the castle is quite tubby and chubby. It looks like it's been eating to many decadent pastries.
The vintage postcard reads: Benediction des Chiens - Blessing of the Dogs. The pups at the bottom of the steps are being hallowed for Saint Hubert Day. He is the patron saint of the hunt:) Woof!

Baby Vintage Postcard Meets Darth Vader
vintage postcards
This cake has my vote for the best 'It's a girl' sugar confection ever! Darth Vader has gently rocked this bambino to sleep. Doesn't the sparkly icing looks melt in your mouth good?
The French have trouble with the pesky English 'th' sound. Darth was therefore renamed Dark Vader in all of the French dubbed movies:) My cool radar is whooping!

The cake photo is from an ultra groovy blog called Cake Wrecks!

Mood Dress and Vintage Postcard Fashion

Have you seen the Bubelle dress? This emotion sensitive dress changes colors according to you feelings! It was designed by electronics giant Philips and works by monitoring physical changes using sensors that are part of the figure - hugging inner layer of the dress. It reminds me of the mood ring I had when I was a kid!
I'm more of a sucker for vintage fashion! Big Surprise!

816 Notre Dame Vintage Postcards - Crown of Thorns History
vintage postcards
Notre Dame in Paris houses a piece of Jesus' crown of thorns. The relic is actually thornless. The unstinting Louis IX gave the holy spikes away as gifts.
The Emperor of Constantinople (1239 - 41) sold the crown for an extortionate sum of mullah to Louis during the lucky number 7 crusade. A special mass is held every first Friday of the month to present the relic. You can actually go see it!

Anchovy and Walnut Ketchup!
vintage postcards
The word 'ketchup' comes from the Chinese Ké Tsiap. Dutch and English sailors brought this spicy, fishy and very tomato less concoction back home with them from Asia. Europeans then added nutty ingredients like... walnuts!
A ketchup recipe in 'The complete Housewife,' published in 1727, called for anchovies, shallots, vinegar, white wine, sweet spices (cloves, ginger, mace, nutmeg), pepper, and lemon peel! A tomato was finally popped into the mix in about 1801. Mmmmm..pass the fries!
