Those of you who know me will even get a BIGGER KICK out of these photos!
You see my ITALIAN HUSBAND and I are complete OPPOSITES……
A dear neighbor who is a PROFESSIONAL PHOTOGRAPHER saw this right AWAY!He has a new concept of making a photographic book instead of the traditional portrait sitting.WE were to be his MODELS for his SHOW and TELL…………….
I do think WE will make you chuckle.I giggle every time I look at them.
I had multiple tasks.
HAIR
WARDROBE
PROPS
and getting the ITALIAN HUSBAND READY!
Are YOU ready……..to see his book?
PAGE ONE…………

Lunch time ritual on the weekends…..Prosciutto and Salami.I always have a PACKAGE to wrap and deliver!

PIZZA MAKER.Love those nights I only have to set the table!

The MAN never sits….always a project.In this case a beam needs repair but why not stop for a CAMPARI first!Me on my GRANDMOTHER’S CHAISE LOUNGE……..Always a furry BEASTIE Beside!

A MAN who is a BOY at HEART!Fishing in the FOUNTAIN is ALWAYS good old-fashion FUN!Can you see the FISH?

Wood chopping and Rose Clipping…………something WE can do together??

SHALL WE DINE………….I with a carrot and yogurt.ITALIAN HUSBAND with something MORE substantial.It is the year of the RAM……so we are in GOOD company!RAM IS CROWNED.

SUNDAY, mornings for HIM mean a good Espresso.For ME a good BOOK.The more photographs the better.Can you SPY three dogs?

ON our way to feed the CHICKENS………before heading OUT to my kind of EVENT.

THIS HAS GOT TO BE MY FAVORITE!THE MAN and his MOTORCYCLE and YOUR CONTESSA with her OPERA COAT,Fiat 500 and a FRENCH chair……….
This was FUN and something WE will look at over the YEARS………..and LAUGH OUT LOUD.One of my NEW YEAR’s words as WE did words this year instead of RESOLUTIONS was to LAUGH MORE………………….I think WE are off to a GOOD start.
I suggest you visit DREW WRIGHT’S site for more CREATIVITY.I especially like the FAMILY who STAR in a CIRCUS ACT.Please click on the link below and take a peek http://www.familyphotospread.com
Drew can be found in the SAN FRANCISCO BAY AREA.His studio is in SAN FRANCISCO right off UNION SQUARE.I happen to know he has family in the LOS ANGELES region as well…………so if this STRIKES your FANCY;I would suggest you click on his site and do tell HIM that the VINTAGE CONTESSA made you WALTZ over!
NOTE IAM NOW CALLED the VINTAGE Contessa.NET
Why you ask?Because I no longer have a shop.
It was called The Hen House.
Second, because I am VINTAGE (over 50)and still like to pretend I live in ITALY!!
So,there YOU have the reasons.
I hope You enjoy ME and MY ramblings…………..
