" Venice "

Ever wish you were in Venice on board the Gondola?



Or perhaps have a venetian mask like one of these?



Nope, not in Venice, I wish it were! ^0^
This eye catching window display is house by
Murano inside Sofitel Philippine Plaza.

I think it constantly changes its interior, I remember Hilda of My Manila posted this before (in great
detail btw) with a different theme.
But I can't help admiring this one.

" Painting for your thoughts "

You like abstract or scenic paintings? ^0^



paintings like these are often seen along Manila bay area.
Usually men carry them around their back or they put it up on a wall or a shaded area where it catches your attention.
i think they're quite cheaper than the local stores, but i didn't ask how much it is as they'd think i'd like to buy one thus, they'd keep on persisting and tagging along wherever you go. ^0^

happy weekend to all!

" In search of an Artist "

The streets of Malate used to be known for its night spots and bar hopping, but that was before Makati and some high end districts came into town.
A lot has changed since then, but if you're in for a good find like antiques and paintings.
There are still quite a few shops worth taking a look.
Like this store for example, it offers an eclectic collection of canvasses for you to choose from.
Mostly for sale here are scenic sights abroad and local.
You can also have it made to order depending on your preference.

see anything you like? ^0^

what do you think?...

An art piece like this can always be subjective.

This painting caught my eye because it reminded me of what used to be an

old casa.

The interiors of detailed carving, large capiz windows, dark wood flooring and antique furnitures... you seldom see houses like these except in provinces where it's mostly owned by affluent people or big houses like these altered as museums...
