Raindrops on roses
and whiskers on kittens
Bright copper kettles
and warm woolen mittens
Brown paper packages tied up with strings
These are a few of my favorite things
Cream colored ponies and crisp apple strudels
Doorbells and sleigh bells and schnitzel with noodles
Wild geese that fly with the moon on their wings
These are a few of my favorite things
Girls in white dresses
with blue satin sashes
Snowflakes
that stay on
my nose and eyelashes
Silver white winters that melt into springs
These are a few of my favorite things
When the dog bites
When the bee stings
When I'm feeling sad
I simply remember my favorite things
And then I don't feel so bad
And then I don't feel so bad
Here- Givenchy's LE JONCHET, a favorite thing.

The concept of 60 pieces of Giacometti iron/bronze works leaves me week-kneed. If I were to be granted one wish, it would be to acquire an iron or bronze Giacometti table-perfect design and execution on so many levels of aesthetics. Audrey, of course, will never be matched. Thank you. Mary

What an amazing post... seriously a triumph. That Giacometti hexagonal table is without a doubt one of my favorite things.
ReplyDeleteAlso the new photo on the top of the blog is great- I have a similar bronze snake pocket watch holder.
