Why Man Creates (Part 1)

London calling 1977

 

Queen’s Silver Jubilee

 

But of course The Princess Trainer franchise just had to watch the royal wedding…

These are from September , 2009

Our Princess. We watched the highlights of the royal wedding before and after school. I recorded it. Mary kept wanting to see the newlyweds kiss, when they were on the balcony. She didn’t seem all that thrilled about the carriage ride to Buckingham P., but she was more attentive than I thought she would be. We had fancy nancy style tea after dinner, with my mini silver tea service and my vintage tea cups from Japan. photos to follow soon.

Gotta love the 1960’s.

These test shots were taken by a commercial

photographer that the ad agency used….

I colorized the background just for fun..

Noritake, Mom’s set, Arcola pattern, coming to Ebay auction soon. c. late 1940’s or early 50’s.

 

Replacements co. pays so little per piece, I ‘d rather keep it. Not worth the hassle of packing and shipping to them, for so liitle ROI.

Au Revoir, Eames chair

We say so long to Tony's vintage Eames chair. The chair has found a new home, somewhere in illinois, thanks to Ebay and me!

Here are a few parting shots from the 'Red Chair' !

I am speechless, and anyone, especially my brother, can tell you that NEVER happens!

I found this slide of Tony and his concept for “The Great Flag” monument.
