"My Secret Pal" Ceramic dated 1968

| The concept of something being "beautiful" is very subjective. Beautiful to some may not be beautiful to others, just as the saying goes: "One man's trash is another man's treasure". Beauty envokes in us a sense of calming passion, a small but growing joy stemming from somewhere so deep within our psyche or soul, that when we see something we think is beautiful, or feel something we think is beautiful, or smell, or taste something we think is beautiful, we are nearly unable to put to words exactly the reason we think it's beautiful in the first place. |

| "Belle Poubelle" is a concept. It's a cyber gallery that celebrates individual items that were once discarded by someone else as trash, but that when spotted by another person (ME & my customers) instantly is identified as beautiful. Belle-Poubelle is the name of a cyber-gallery on Ebay that highlights and sells items that are certainly beautiful in their individual ways, but that were once, someone else's GARBAGE. There is another saying that everything spoken in French sounds better than spoken in English. Try it and see what you think. Say, "Beautiful Garbage". Does that make you want to buy a gorgeous redwood tray from 1968 that an elderly couple from Canada bought while vacationing in California, for the lovely little price of $6.00? Now say the same thing in French. Say, "Belle-Poubelle". Say it again, "Belle-Poubelle". ...You REALLY want that tray now, don't you? What about a handpainted ceramic trinket box, created as the passionate outlet of a woman having an affair behind her husband's back in 1935, and given to her lover as a gift. Instead of signing her name to the piece, she carves "My Love. Our Secret." in the bottom of the ceramic. Her lover then dies in 2004 and the piece is sold at his estate sale, everyone wondering the mystery behind it and why he kept it for so long. Don't you want to buy that little piece of passion for $9.00? If you don't get the concept of "Belle-Poubelle", don't worry...the concept is for really cool people only. :) |
