Found: A Lost Art

Interesting day today.  Joann and I went to the Bead Store.  I told you yesterday that a gentlemen from Italy was going to be there making jewelry.  He is a Glass Blower and was set up on the porch of this building doing his thing.  Fascinating to say the least.   He does not speak English but his Assistant, a lovely young woman does,   I wore the White Squirrel necklace that Joann made me for my 85th birthday and when I showed it to him from across the porch he smiled and said what I think was  "thank you" because he could see I was pleased with his work.  

Inside they had the things he had made today.   Everything was beautiful.  Two things I saw that I would love to have but could never afford.   There are Paper Weights that are just so pretty.   There are Door Knobs that   I would never put  on a door but would put them on display with my other treasurers.

While talking with he and the Assistant we found that they live near where Becky spends most of her time when visiting in Italy.  We took pictures and Joann will have prints made tomorrow.   I love meeting people from other countries.  All in all it was a fun day.

Then to top the day off the Rays beat the Pirates.  It was not a nail biter but we did win and that is what counts.

Oh, and I did talk with my friend Adith late this afternoon.   Haven't been able to get her on the phone for a couple of weeks so we had a lot of catching up to do.

May your day bloom with happiness.

Love and prayers from here to there
