Welcome dear friends, supporters, newcomers and  the curious.  Welcome to a world where all we want to do is explore all things curious and/or beautiful.  There is so much out there to absorb ourselves in, so let’s do it.

Gretel le Maître likes to look for the beauty and curiosities in life, one day at a time.  She shares with you snippets from books about history, art and literature and regularly takes you on adventures to new locations, to explore churches, cathedrals and architecture.
