  3. mama, Chanel did have several English lovers- Boy Capel (at an fairly young age) and the Duke of Westminster (later in life)- I think they must have left their good books there!

  4. Just seems odd that they might have given her a Bible. But I suppose it matched...

  5. Mamacita- She also had many wheat motifs in her apartment- a sign of prosperity, this is most likely the reason. The English lover- maybe gave it to her because of that, I was attempting a little humor-Or maybe they said Oh God- a lot.

  6. OMG WHEAT MOTIFS! That's what I'm doing wrong. Empty bottles of club soda and overdue library books probably aren't symbols of prosperity, are they?

  7. Mamacita- Chanel was Catholic, she had to have loads of superstition- the dear, the lions,the crosses, the wheat- She didn't take any chances.The club soda- she would have gotten into though.Times were much simpler then weren't they.
