I'm so pleased you enjoyed them too.<BR/><BR/>CS - mmm FCBs yum yum!<BR/><BR/>Gina - hope you have time to visit, they keep these little exhibitions so low key!<BR/><BR/>GBVC - I've drooled over the wonderful posts Hannah has done about her visits to Fitzbillies - lucky girl!<BR/><BR/>WWA - hi, I think Jean Lurcat was instrumental in encouraging artists to work with the tapestry weavers at Aubusson - try Google Images and you'll be sure to find some. I particularly like the tapestry designs by Chagall. It's incredible how the weavers can interpret the different styles.Celia Harthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12776686088752602321noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1220897337333701839.post-4887947292820303952008-03-12T02:54:00.000+00:002008-03-12T02:54:00.000+00:00What a gorgeous piece your photo shows!

I'd sure be curious to see what they came up with!Curmudgeonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12864042359805755661noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1220897337333701839.post-57897119680061734422008-03-11T11:45:00.000+00:002008-03-11T11:45:00.000+00:00What a nice day you had in Cambridge.We loved Fitz...What a nice day you had in Cambridge.<BR/>We loved Fitzbillies when we went there last year.<BR/>Hannah from Hannah's Country Kitchen often goes to watch what their bakers do - and writes about it on her blog.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1220897337333701839.post-27283193638504825992008-03-10T21:06:00.000+00:002008-03-10T21:06:00.000+00:00Thank you for a lovely post Celia - I think a trip...Thank you for a lovely post Celia - I think a trip to the Fitz is order for one day this week!

I haven't ever made time for it in my life, strange, because I do appreciate other's art, even though I cannot draw and paint myself. I love these tours around the galleries, places which I may never get to visit myself. The Dom Robert is just amazing, the colours are breathtaking. Something which I do know a lot about are chelsea buns! How amazing you can get them sent through the post from the bakery. Your shoes are absolutely gorgeous, may I say elegant, yet practical. I must look to see if this shop has a website? xLouisehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03800196831833931842noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1220897337333701839.post-60199783556472856582008-03-10T07:53:00.000+00:002008-03-10T07:53:00.000+00:00What a gorgeous day you had!
