the classics

A little Greco-Roman inspiration from the Metropolitan Museum of Art. I love this color! Also love port2port's holiday book list. What fun! Will try to get my own book list together in the next couple days. I like looking at other people's bookshelves ~ don't you?

How marvelous – that moment of recognition between our own world and that of an other time and place – it is one of the reasons I love the decorative arts. But, what is up with that small handle?! KDM

Little fingers I guess! And, yes, it is amazing how some things really never do go out of style...
