Important : I will be leaving back to France on Thursday the 15th of July.  First, I'll picking up in and near Paris and will visit a friend who kept some drawings aside for me.  From Paris, I'll be driving to the Fontainebleau region, where a good collection of old master drawings will be presented to me.  After this visit (and as I hope succesfull negociations), we will continue to the South of France, where I will carry on working on ebay, in combination with some local markets.  Partualy, during this period, I will take a holliday break as well (our family will be over as well at that moment).  I will be back in Belgium on the 6th of August and have to ask you to be patient regarding shipping.  It might not be possible to make a short tript back to Belgium for shipments, because of the negative evoluation of the covid situation in Europe (travel restrictions and quarentine could limit travelling by plain or high speed train).
I will keep you informed about the evolution on the field and will be restarting shipments (in the worse case scenario) on the 7th of August.
Thanks all of you for your continious support and understanding.
