That wisteria lamp is breathtaking! And also, I need to steal that hippocampus pendant from the British Museum. Just need to find the right disgruntled curator…

That Wisteria Lamp!!! I also need to see it photoshopped onto Herman Munsters' head.

Oh gosh, the window, what a stunning work of art! "Michael" is adorable and so are the jeweled hummingbirds (I too prefer the living ones to stay that way) Thank you and best wishes for a happier New Year. 💙

It is always an education, and a brief respite, for which I thank you most sincerely.

Hi, Monica!

Are you aware of this very new book about Casa Codognato?

I figure you are, but just in case ...

Keep up the fun writing, please!

I am so sad about those hummingbirds, but the Tiffany window is joyous. I love your notes on the rigid cast iron contrasting with the twining vines. I hope your New Year is lighter and brighter <3

Another awesome edition! I was not expecting to arrange the folllowing words into a sentence today: a baseball signed by George Harrison and owned by Geddy Lee, wow!
