It’s left me with a big smile across my dial….Wonder if that’s a cockney phrase?

Three very rousing rounds of applause for Rodney Holt who had a star to follow and went for it!!

I have heard that it is haunted and would have loved to hear more. Perhaps another story just on London ghosts stories? I could tell you about a ghost seen by my friend at Angels costumiers when they were in Camden…

What a dream job! Would love to see more of the displays! Such magic and creativity. And those workshops…all those supplies, sculptures, paints. What a playground.

are just debuting with all the accompanying excitement, so it is glorious to be introduced to the geniuses in charge in YOUR part of the world. This specialized profession fascinates me, and if I had another lifetime I would surely be a window trimmer.

We make a yearly trip into Manhattan every year to “see the Windows”, with a requisite stop at the St. Regis hotel for a drink in their King Cole bar. It is our gift to each other, and we love snuggling under the legendary mural by Maxfield Parrish.

Wishing you an art-filled holiday, GA! Many thanks for this illuminating post on an all-time
favorite topic. Cue the holiday music.
