Led the Natchez Concours drive in my loaner Aston Martin Vanquish.

It’s a tough life

Finished this jigsaw puzzle …
I normally enjoy them and find them relaxing-
This one was very well designed to be evil
The branches were really hard to do as the painter made all pieces really hard to tell one branch from another ….
Of course the last piece did not fit and after much searching found the error ..
Lots of almost interchangeable pieces

I might get in trouble for this
This is the wholesale cost for this fabric
I want someone to order a few yards from me.

I want to see if it blows my mind with its beauty

It’s handmade - I’m sure by certified vestal virgins woven with unicorn thread.

(It’s only 21” wide so it is less than 1/2 a yard of ordinary fabric ..

They have less than 4 yards in stock

So who wants a pair of pillows for about $35,000 ..

(Maybe more would need some fancy trim…)
