Orchids and Ceramics

A Passion for both . . . . Happy Sunday Morning




The white with pink centered Phalaenopsis are my favorites, and then there are the yellow with pink and then the chartreuse with pink . . . . .





And then there are the ceramics by Deruta, Italy artist Giovanni Marinetti. Giovanni is a devastatingly handsome young man. His mother owns the "La Torre Maioliche Artistiche" shop in Deruta. She features many artists, but who can resist Giovanni's work? I can't. Look for them way in the back, in the catacombs, signed "GM".


And, while you are visiting Deruta, have lunch next door at the "La Locanda del Bracconiere" owned by two beautiful sisters who serve fantastic lunches and dinners, and not expensive. Try to be in Deruta on a Tuesday, market day.
