	from Shelley Esaak Greetings, There was so much crazy and/or bad news last week, I thought it'd be nice to concentrate on positive things in this newsletter. You can't get much more positive than finding a Brueghel in your attic now, can you? Oh, sure. Bruegel/Breugel/Brueghel fans know that finding a Pieter the Elder might've sweetened the pot a bit more. Still, it's lovely to be reminded that the forces of Art Discoveries, yes! They strike every now and then, and this makes our discerning eyes ever hopeful. Keep on keepin' on, as we said in the 70s--and have a great week!
