She stared out the window for hours, daydreaming of life outside the orphanage. While on a headmistress errand, Lily came across an antique shop. Through the glass, she noticed two stunning opaline blue vases. The vases reflected light beautifully, and the enigmatic gold gilding around the neck and on the top crowns gave them an elegance Lily had never seen before. Lily frequently went to the antique shop to look at the vases. Lily's fascination with the vases was noticed by Henri, the shop's sweet old owner, who explained to her about their history and how they were made in France in the late 1800s and early 1900s. He talked about their historical significance and how the opaline blue glass captured light superbly. As Lily spent more time in the shop, Henri educated her about antiques and their histories.
