Today I went into a store where used items are old things at minimum prices.
Items I certainly have a history in, or perhaps not used by people who are gone.
It took me a terrible nostalgia: I must admit that lately they are easy prey to this feeling and then just enough for me .....
I saw leaning on the shelves of a library 60 books and journals known, I recognized the colors of the covers as well as titles, old photos of young VIP, there were also magazines ITALIAN CUISINE year 1954! I had two years since.
I also recognized the latest example of mobile children's room from the '70s, when I was the babysitter and then those attending brand new furniture.
And there was even a modern kitchen 60s, yet with true belief, but with a high roof supported by a work plan for Formica.
Who among you can say what is the ant?
And going over a big box of vinyl records, 45 and 33 rpm, sell them at 0.50 euro each.
I seem to remember the price of less than a thousand pounds. But I'm not sure.
I have not looked at the titles. I already had a lump in my throat and did not seem the case.
But then I saw a wooden desk, linear like a box, with space for legs and a side door. It said DESK GREEN ONLY 20 EURO. Already
was his only feature: the whole painted a bright green is not acid, a typical green 70. But I remembered it all black, the desk was my favorite cousin, much older than me and who I admired very much. Closer to the desk when I was 4 years was a particular emotion: he took cover in a model airplane with the motor running and there was un'odore oil and gasoline that intoxicated me. I never saw the plane fly but I like to think that would fly very well.
Certainly the desk is not green but looks like a lot, I have not had the courage to open the door and if we had found that smell?
Meanwhile, Zoe is settling well, particularly loves to perch on our shoulders: to eat or do while I sew or iron looks like a parrot. But when she is tired
prefer broader shoulders and quiet.
Meanwhile I'm working on Christmas day, a lot of projects but also the head with his hands, although I would be faster. I would say that this is the Christmas spirit that I like: design and make in complete confusion.
This is the first work: the advent calendar for Christian
The panel found it in a flea market, I packed the bags, I put in a tiny, tiny little surprise and a tape colorato li ho legati agli anellini corrispondenti ai giorni di dicembre. Quest'anno sarà Helena a divertirsi ma credo che già l'anno prossimo sarà lui a cercare i sacchetti giusti. Ho iniziato a fare anche le scorzette di arance candite ma di nascosto perchè altrimenti a Natale non ci arrivano, poi mi dedicherò ai panettoni e vorrei fare anche qualcosa con la pasta di sale. Insomma idee tante ma.....
