Mary and Tony in the artist's studio













Mary drew a copy of Tony's sketch for a new sculpture. Pretty good replica, she just did it in 2 minutes and then showed us.

Another dedicated follower of fashion













trip to TJ Maxx, actually posing for me in her latest wardrobe choices. I picked out the orange bubble dress, though. $12 ! Steal !

High Tea at our country estate

















































Ok, it's our only estate, and I cannot figure out where all the servants disappeared to...




Check out the vintage lusterware tea cups and the gourmet chocolate mousse confections, etc.

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.

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.
