Week's End - Humphrey in Black & White

Dear sweet peaceable Humphrey of Grand Canaria (his soul brother is Alvar, here). His human mom, Marianne Perdomo, is very talented (& funny). See her flickrstream, here. Bon weekend!

Colorful canal houses, Burano, Venice

Lovely Burano (in Venetian Lagoon) photograph by talented Allison Lince-Bentley. See Painterly Venice. (via World Island Info).

Lacy Window

Here comes the bride? There goes the widow? Hmmm. (photograph Steven Klein, scan from Vogue Italia, Guigno 2007)

Chipmunk cheeks...

...are totally cute. Tom Grim's flickrstream set of small animals. Computer troubles, sorry for slim pickings...ciao.

Pretty Purple Finch

So far behind this week (typical for une bricoleuse). One can do much worse than go look at Tom Grim's gorgeous flickrstream.

Week's End - The Weight of the World

Hope it's as light as a balloon for at least part of the weekend. (scan from Pure Wonder series, Ellen von Unwerth, Vogue Italia, Giugno 2007)

Moreau Inspiration

The real J.M. Then inspiration for Steven Meisel's Cinema Stills shoot in Vogue Italia (October 2003). We love J.M. for many reasons but making under-eye shadows acceptably sexy (yes!) was a major achievement. That & not being classically beautiful but being considered gorgeous. As she was & remains. ciao!

A café, a balloon, a celebration continues

...xoxo from Washington, DC

Mme. Sarkozy's desk is that of une bricoleuse, non? (photograph by Bharat Sikka via CB's site)

Week's End - Love in Black & White

Have a lovely weekend. I continue to move things around, build, & bricoler...ciao.photograph via {this is glamorous}

Un chat blanc

I love this cat, Alvar. Again, from Marianne Perdomo's flickrstream.

I'm all ears...

From Marianne Perdomo, a terrific photographer, animal rescuer, & all-round funny lady. She lives on Gran Canaria & her English is excellent.We hang our head in shame at our inability to claim something similar in Spanish. This is funny Blanquita (with Eli in the background). Blanquita has something to say, it's quite obvious!

Vermont morning

In Stowe, Vt. Another lovely Paul Moody photograph.

Icy Red Berries

The photo-only feed continueth for time being. To Tom Grim & his generosity. Red Berries Covered with Snow and Ice, Allentown, PA Rose Garden. Used with permission of photographer.

Week's End - White Primrose

We love our new white primrose in a blue cachepot...sitting next to clipped red poinsettia branches, red berries, & magnolia leaves in glass bottles. Our kitchen windowsill is very... Inauguralish. Sort of. Bon week-end. White Primrose by Tom Grim/all rights reserved

Cardinals on Icy Branch

From Pennsylvanian Tom Grim's beautiful flickrstream.

Moleskine® Journal 2009

This is from a lovely flickr series called Without Soul by Alice Lucchin. First seen on automatism. Can't be une bricoleuse, we think, without a good blank Moleskine (or whatever your favorite is...we grew up with them, hence the fondness...but the sticker shock, wow).

Happy New Year!

This is going to be in fits & starts without DSL (still). But the goal was to begin regularly on 1 January 2009, so...Paul Moody's moody Vermont landscape series, here. This blog will eventually move to another address so that GG's photo & info don't show up. Have to study the ins & outs of this & have neither the patience nor the time today. Also as note to self: publish week days only. Cheers & a much better new year to all. It just has to be better: we inaugurate President-elect Obama in twenty days.
