Announcement Welcome to Provoquer la Curiosité! I hope you enjoy browsing this eclectic assortment of treasures. If there is something specific for which you're looking and you don't see it in my shop, let me know so I can be on the lookout for you.

I really believe in the buyer's satisfaction being of paramount importance, an ideal that seems to have fallen by the wayside in this day and age. If you are unhappy with any portion of the transaction, from the purchase through the receipt of the item you've bought, please do let me know so I can make things right.

EU VAT RULES: Customers in the EU, new European Union tax rules have changed the way import tax is collected. Etsy now collects an import VAT on physical goods under €150 that are shipped to the EU from an outside country.

For items under €150, the listing price shown to EU buyers will include the import VAT amount.

This VAT will be automatically collected from the buyer by Etsy at the time of purchase, then sent to local tax authorities in the country of purchase.

FREE SHIPPING ON SELECT ITEMS: I am offering free shipping within the United States for orders of $35.00 and over. If you are outside the U.S., please contact me for a shipping quote if you don't see the cost of shipping to your country.

The Value of the Past

I've always loved older things from the past. In today's world, the rush is always on toward the future. Groundbreaking discoveries in science and technology have had a hugely positive impact with respect to saving, enriching and simplifying lives as well as forging positive connections with people with whom we may not have formerly connected.

Still, though, there is something to be said for the past, for the simple things, be it a circa 1800s button, an early Peter Rabbit book or a 1920s postcard. While we as a civilization rush toward the future, we mustn't forget the past and the things we once held dear, for our past connects us to the past within ourselves
