Indigo in Buenos Aires: New Year – Dec 31, 2006

Indigo in Buenos Aires: dinner with Esteban – Dec 27, 2006

This morning, Phil went off shopping with Hugo and came back with another Bettinelli painting and two sculptures, one bronze with patina and one marble.  They are just beautiful and I can’t wait for you art lovers to see them.  They fit perfectly on the counter between the dining room and the salon (the bronze one) and on the counter behind and to the side of the dining room table (the stone one).  […]
