Wrought Iron Doors

The corkboard is a fantastic idea. I have been saving corks from bottles of wine we had had but have been waiting for a great idea to use them in. I will probably frame mine in wrought iron to add a little more of a Tuscan feel to them. Thanks for the idea!

The pictures your first students painted and sketched are simply wonderful. Souper!

Credit to the teacher and to their talents as well.

The paintings and drawings are lovely - as is the soup. And the cork board - well, that is in a special class all its own - you're generous to share the story.

I am laughing, because I have been away 3 weeks tomorrow and thought I would look in on you. What's up? The same "sorry I haven't blogged much lately" post that was there when I left!
I can't comment from my Italian computer, so let's see if I can from here in DC.

How much I would love to be standing at the window taking in the view of the cork board while drawing the soup and pinning aid memoires to the sweeping vista through the window. Quite marvelous!

Cara Amanda,

Nice to have you back in virtuality! What a wonderful "anecdote" about the cork board. Of, course your father would have been thrilled. And for you - a memory,a daily treat. Like the soup photo. Love veg. soups. Happy for your Artiturismo success! Bacione, Ingrid in Umbria

I'd forgotten the soup looks yummy, I have put it on my list to make for my friend Peggy when she comes to dinner next week as the starter.
She loves zucchini!

At last we hear what's been afoot, so glad to hear you are very busy that's a great sign,I am content that all is going to plan as you had both hoped.Your hard work and sacrifice is paying off.
The cork board is lovely and endearing ,that it was made by your father makes it irreplaceable, for each day a new memory of him and your life together springs forward when you take a key.
I have a magazine rack my father made ,he too is gone physically but never from my heart or mind.

the zucchini soup will go well with the bean bruschetta! :) Love the cork board, it's beautiful and practical. Your dad was a natural repurposer...

I am sure that you are feeling the sense things falling into place with the students producing and flourishing. It starts to all come together when people come and complete the circle. Enjoy.
