Tiny Bowls
Katy is just back from an adventure in Japan and she brought us each a present yesterday… We got to choose so there was a mad dash… and I got this one… and low and behold, tied in a hankie (which is brilliant as I actually USE cloth hankies…) with cherry blossom chopsticks was… …a […]
Visiting Artists
And by that I mean the verb, not the noun. I consider it one of the real privileges I have to tag along with R when he’s off to interview an artist (future interviewees–I don’t always go, only sometimes.)…we smile and chat, he goes into to interview mode and I look and look. All good. […]
