Following on from last kitchen post, some more new
items for the house, and spring and summer: a ceramic chicken (filled with shortbread), which will be useful for
storing eggs or such, a toy duck and ducklings, made of tin - they move when
wound up, just a silly jokey retro toy, a nice blue glass carafe and matching
tumblers (one tumbler was smashed, so will have to be returned, and a nice large 'Sorrento' italian bowl with lemon motif, for salads, pasta etc. and some 'Tuscany'
little plates for appetizers, antipasti etc.
2,000 POSTS DONE!, so I am posting less frequently, but will still be adding news, comments and photos.. As archived, its a ramble through my movie watching, music and old magazine store and discussing People We Like [Loren, Monroe, Vitti, Romy Schneider, Lee Remick, Kay Kendall, Anouk & Dirk Bogarde, Delon, Belmondo, Jean Sorel, Belinda Lee; + Antonioni, Hitchcock, Wilder, Minnelli, Cukor, Joni Mitchell, David Hockney etc]. As Pauline Kael wrote: "Art, Trash and the Movies"!
