I saw it on my 19th birthday, and thought it was brilliant - have seen a couple of times since; must rewatch now.

I'm so curious about other Westerner's reactions to life in India. <br /><br />Also, Lisa, you might be interested in some of the artist residencies here in India...come on over for a quick look at the place I'm working now if you'd like (they would DIE over your loom work!); it's an old spice warehouse that's been converted into a group of gorgeous studios for mostly Indian and some international artist. Working here has been one of the more eye-opening, enriching experiences I've had as an artist, period. <br /><br />xo! and Happy New Year!bigBANG studiohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13566014806881346604noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6117194181116669144.post-69013017951439114352010-12-31T09:17:00.767-08:002010-12-31T09:17:00.767-08:00I absolutely adored this post and spent quite a bi...I absolutely adored this post and spent quite a bit of time on my library's website requesting most of them.

I'm the messiest, most disorganized Virgo on the planet<br />Wolf Hall- I gave to my father for Christmas last year. He said he didn't have the patience to keep up with all the characters so I've nicked it back. Sadly, there is so little free time to read these days. I saw those little blooming flowers in our brand new "Bevmo" store, but was worried they looked too syrupy- I'm going to try them now, on your rec. "Restoring a House in the City" sounds fun and I'd buy "My Favourite Ingredients" just based on the book cover alone!<br />I always love your choices and taste, so many thanks again and Top of The Season to You and your family!<br />xx<br />SPSlim Paleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09278593197402665506noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6117194181116669144.post-50164407804065754942010-12-16T12:52:01.973-08:002010-12-16T12:52:01.973-08:00Great picks!

I just listened to the BBC Bloomsbury Writers, and the first thing I thought of was, "I wonder if A Bloomsbury Life knows about this"! Listening to the voice of Virginia Woolf as you drive to work is quite the thrill! I am off to order the design books and the soundtrack.
