Hidden Playhouses from 1865

We found our way into an old theatre in Port Louis that hasn't been used in 2 years. They are trying to raise funds to restore it.  This is a pic of the inside with the orginal fresco and glass chandelier - shipped over form England and put back together on arrival.

Just hanging out in the annexe were these two gorgoeus chairs.  I wish now I had bought them and then figured out how to get them home.  Oh well.

a.. b.. c... carving an alphabet

I am going to carve this out of a book but am prototyping it with playing cards first. I love the result so much that I might have to do an alphabet out of cards as well.

happy = interesting = happy

"The happiest people are those who think the most interesting thoughts. Those who decide to use leisure as a means of mental development, who love good music, good books, good pictures, good company, good conversation, are the happiest people in the world. And they are not only happy in themselves, they are the cause of happiness in others."
