I got back last week from a three week trip to Europe- after a very brief visit with my grandmother and cousins in Geneva, I spent 10 days with my parents in Florence and then 10 days in London. Even though it was the longest trip I have taken in eight years, it all seemed rather a whirlwind. Below are an assortment of images I took on my iPhone while I was away, of anything I found beautiful or interesting.
Row 1: The Arno a little outside Florence, a succulent filled wheelbarrow in the Palazzo Vecchio, Goncharova's backcloth for The Firebird from 1926, reading material, Belle.
Row 2: Floris Neusüss photogram, me in a vintage Thea Porter tunic on Christmas, tiny tangerines at Caroline's, my friend's parent's amazing dining room, Paul McCartney and a 16 year old groupie from a 1960s Daily Mirror.
Row 3: Poinsettia tree at the Palazzo Vecchio, my parent's Christmas tree, poster from an Eduardo Paolozzi exhibition in 1977 in the V & A's reading room, gorgeous Chinese robes at the Imperial Chinese Robes from the Forbidden City exhibition, Susan Derges' Arch 4 (summer).
