It's nicer with photos.<br />ps. I can 'get by' in French but my Italian is limited to a small collection of phrases- " That meal was delicious" " Thank you so much for helping me" " What a wonderful view/garden/meal/painting", so at least I can be polite! I try to practice evry time I visit but it's slow business.Jane the Bookladyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01674464753702292288noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4445733437091292485.post-52859825244181840412011-05-24T23:00:24.991+01:002011-05-24T23:00:24.991+01:00Jane, I am very good at long discussions... in mor...Jane, I am very good at long discussions... in more than one language! <br /><br />CIAO!Annahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15531642906387702641noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4445733437091292485.post-15673267359044462192011-05-24T22:41:23.199+01:002011-05-24T22:41:23.199+01:00BTW...

I hav...Thank you all for the praise of my ringlets!<br />I have a great love for the P.R.B and was so pleased today when one of the artists said I looked very Pre-Raphaelite! My only connection is a rather scruffy(but much loved) pencil drawing I bought from a London saleroom which MIGHT be by Burne Jones. I've never had it researched because I'd rather hold onto the hope that it is....<br />As to the paintings, I will ask the artists who I know as friends and see if I can post a painting of me in costume. Last time I was ' a down-at-heel Victorian Lady-of-the-night'!<br />I like you saying that you get a sense from things Anna. I think I know what you mean. Perhaps one day we can have a proper long discussion? It would be so interesting.Jane the Bookladyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01674464753702292288noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4445733437091292485.post-9854311409633883152011-05-24T22:13:43.953+01:002011-05-24T22:13:43.953+01:00Jane, I find what you do really interesting. I hav...Jane, I find what you do really interesting. I have a kind of connection with the past and can "sense" things. Old costumes, hats and shoes really fascinate me as they tell me stories.<br /><br />If I had to pose as anyone, I would like to be one of D.G. Rossetti's women. Really beautiful and sensual. And the members of the Pre-Raphaelite Brotherhood operated in Victorian England! Fantastic!<br /><br />I actually met a descendent of D.G And Christina Rossetti. I went to his house and it was SOOO intersting!<br /><br />Nice ringlets! Are they yours?<br /><br />ANNAAnnahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15531642906387702641noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4445733437091292485.post-90940358482471408612011-05-24T17:33:02.510+01:002011-05-24T17:33:02.510+01:00Very impressed with the ringlets!

We'd love to see!Goose Vintagehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05924854772088358754noreply@blogger.com
