and in the Teahouse:
And the main shop, unlike the sky, was suffused with blue. The tables were laden with Murano glass,
including Scavo glass, crafted to resemble vessels excavated from ancient Roman ruins:
I was captivated by the sensuously smooth wooden pots, too:
But this is what really set my heart aflutter,
because who knew perfectly proper Petersham could be a Little Shop of Horrors!
Ah, that book sounds like great fun - in a purely educational way, of course!
ReplyDeleteThere's one for my wish list ; )
ReplyDeleteLooking forward to tomorrow!
I remember the sandwiches from the tea house, the bread in particular is delicious. And the salad leaves look like a great winter option!
ReplyDeleteSandwich instead of cake ... I'm shocked!
ReplyDeleteI so wish I were close enough to be there for the book talk! It sounds fantastic!!
ReplyDeleteI am totally transfixed by those exquisite glass vessels.
ReplyDeleteThe color of that glass is the most spectacular EVER. As is the title of that book!
ReplyDeleteLove the blue glassware - just my colour. The talk could be quite interesting!
ReplyDeleteLove that sales pitch - and I don't even like plant talks!
ReplyDeleteSounds irresistable...don't get too close to any unfamiliar foliage!
ReplyDeleteoh wow, how delicious looking is that bread?! that glass is really beautiful too. lots of clever things made by clever people there by the looks of it.
ReplyDeleteWhat a lovely shade of blue and the white streaky tabletop suits the glass perfectly.
ReplyDeleteGorgeous glassware and that wooden pot is really lovely. I'd be terrible if I visited Petersham - I'd need a truck to transport all my purchases home again!
ReplyDeleteWhat lovely glass
ReplyDeleteOooh, should we be concerned Kristina? Could there be more in the toffee sauce than Mr Hockey Sticks bargained for?
