Killing Termites With Motor Oil

SHOPPING TRIP TO NEW LONDON

These are my latest purchases: from Cenina House and Point de Marque ... ... not because the wires are the legacy of a shop!
The pattern of A Mon Ami Pierre, not quite the same but very similar, I "met" in Milan was built on a linen thread to eleven orange: I chose gray because the blue linen I thought the contrast with the white snow of the winter landscape represented was beautiful ...


And the fabrics do not know how I will use ... but I'm 'thinking!



Night, night ...

How Many Eggs Do Discus Lay





Sometimes, unexpectedly I would say, can be understood in the right place at the right time to enjoy something beautiful: it is what I happened Friday when taking advantage of the bridge to the 150 years of the Unification of Italy I went to Milan.
The day began auspiciously rarely because I happened to go to Milan to find a time so beautiful with mild temperatures so as to encourage many people to turn in his shirt sleeves.
The plan was to visit the Pinacoteca di Brera after making a stop at the library near the Piazza Duomo Hoepli ... and that's where you experienced the luck out of the Metro because I saw the gigantic development poster advertising the exhibition, which obviously could not go to see it and putting it around the Brera!
The exhibition is based on a collection of paintings from between 1910 and 1950 thanks to the two spouses Clark, Sterling Calrk he was one of the heirs of the Singer heritage with great passion for art and even though it was a self had a great flair, helped in this by his wife, and so between 1910 and 1950 has collected a series of works of art including paintings presented at the Milan show.

These works of nineteenth-century authors such as Renoir, Monet, Manet, Pisarro, Sisley these works are turning the world during the reorganization of the S. and F Clark Art Institute at Williams College in the U.S.: a museum but also a center of research over the years has attracted and trained many artists and scholars from around the world.
not think I can express how nice it was to immerse myself in something so amazing: the colors, lights, shapes ... I do not know is refreshing!














The picture here is next to Renoir, I brought it because I feel very near to those who love the embroidery and sewing do not feel poorly represented by a woman? I should note that the color of the hat does not make it absolutely in the picture: it's great! Shades of red and orange Anchor colors will range from 46 to 335 passing for 324 ... Raves (?)
This picture is of Berthe Morisot, Manet's brother's wife, who had not been admitted to the School of Fine Arts in Paris as a woman but decided to study the same and was a pupil Acuna's important painters of the ... is also important never to forget what in the world of women have had to struggle to pursue their passions and their talents.
The exhibition will be at the Royal Palace until 19 June 2011 qualsisi other news site www.impressionistimilano.it. A final report

Spots Left Behind From Razor Bumps

150 ° Unity of Italy

"I have an Italian flag in his hands. The first flag Italian, even before we cucissero the center the shield of Savoy. I like it between your fingers because I think it's more than just a symbol ... represents the idea was born from a dream. It 's the trace of a dream ... 's unification of Italy was the only condition for emancipating the Italian people from injustice, after three centuries of foreign domination ... that flag became the symbol of the possibility of emancipation from suffering, misery, injustice. ... The oath that the boys were when they became members of Young Italy
I swear to devote myself to everything and always be with them in Italy a nation, independent, free, republican .

My Own Translation:
The Lords of the Underworld are back with this thrilling tale of an immortal warrior determined to win and a beautiful seductress who can not resist.
Possessed by the demon of Defeat, Strider can not lose a challenge without suffering unimaginable pain. For him, nothing gets in his way to victory. Up to Kaia, a harpy who tempts fascinating to the threshold of performance.
known among his people as "The Disappointment", Kaia will bring home the gold at the Games of the Harpies or die. Strider is a distraction that can not be granted because he has a plan of his own - to steal the first prize, an ancient artifact of God, before the winner is announced.
But, when the competition enters the heart, only one prize will matter really - the love that neither of us had thought possible ...


OMG !!!!!!!!
do not believe it! Released October 3, 2011 for the Anglophone market and I'm already dying.
Everlive I think I already said a hundred times, but Strider is my favorite Lords! This book should do or cause to be amazing Showalter for moral damages. Apart from my
attendibilissimo threats, what do you think of the cover and the blurb??
My expectations are really high, I adore the cover even if a bit 'yellow and the plot ... What the hell! E 'explosive!
I think this will seriously (Yes, I know ... I say it every time) the most exhausting of my life waiting on the reader. How will the Strider
the fact that she slept with Paris?
How on earth can someone like that Kaia is called "disappointing"?
What will happen when the mother of the Harpies come back? (Oh yes, this book also returns the Tabitha Skyhawk ... I do not think it is random)
What are the Games of the Harpies?

Damn, there are still seven months and I am already so low: (hopefully good!
