WHAT A BIT OF SPIT AND POLISH WILL DO

This is the forlorn appearance of my newest Aldo Tura Cart when I picked him up last week.



And this is what he looked like after Roberto had had his way with him.


Not to shabby.
I bought another item that I had been yearning for last week




Aren't they cute!! I have a zoo romping around in the shop--elephants, hawks, horses, cats, camels, crabs, dogs and probably some other beasties. These guys were also very dirty which, I'm sure, contributed to their affordability. This particular pair of elephants is a particularly good example of its type: they are very heavy, terra cotta with a brick type clay, c. 1950s, great color and definition, detail and a good larger size.

After quite a few days of heavy rain, we are having the most glorious weather--clear skies with a painted-on smattering of puffy clouds--and crisp temps.  I need to remember these days when we hit the Santa Ana winds and heat of the summer.

Blessings for the week!!
