#6 - "KNOWING WHERE NOT TO LOOK" - Claudia Morgan reveals secret
I’ve learned things rarely go as planned, especially on buying trips. Joe and I searched for Pichvais all day and returned to our hotel with nothing. We went where we were directed and came up empty-handed. The only thing that remains conclusive is we are in the wrong place.
"KNOWING WHERE NOT TO LOOK"
Claudia reassured me over the phone that this sort of certainty is not without value. “Now, we know where not to look,” she said. I agree; however, the heroic, romantic part of me wanted to report to her triumphantly.
Scouting is an art that contains more than just a good deal of luck. One has to be brave, confident, relentless, and perhaps stubborn at times. I believe the necessary attributes are not inborn; they are practiced until they become natural. I must still be in the conditioning phase. I hope my turn comes soon.

Your travel blog is very inspirational. I am searching for a path to resuscitate our once successful accessories business in San Miguel de Allende- Casas Coloniales -and found your narrative so moving. I absolutely love your store. My architecture studio is two blocks from your Jefferson store. I'll look for Indian kids, grades of stone and amulets the next time I stop in.

It definitely doesn't matter if you don't find what you are looking for if you can come home with travel photographs as beautiful and quirky as these. I empathise with the exasperation that must have washed over you after this experience. I've spent the last week fruitlessly house hunting, but for every place that we cross off the list we are one step closer to finding what we are looking for. That never say die spirit will serve you well in the end, and be even more satisfying when you do find the pieces that you are looking for. You've definitely adopted the right frame of mind for this endeavour. As the Rolling Stones once said "you can't always get what you want, but if you try sometime, you get what you need"
