ANDIAMO, et al

 

My Old Italian Blocks are mounting up nicely;)))
14 of this colorway now....
Named "L'autonno" with these Fall-like
colors in "leafy" colorations...
I love how the "bars move in both
diagonal directions...

AND....Then...
↡↡↡↡
What I am calling:
"Natale" ..
["Christmas" in Italian].

They remind me of the tiled
floorings that we saw all over
Italy on our trip a few years back now....
There are
12 of these so far....
These blocks are definitely scrappier and
more "dense" looking...

I will be pulling out more of my
Christmas stash leftovers 
in reds and greens for these...

Both sets of blocks have red/rose shades
as centers...some even to a 
mauvey coloration.

["Andiamo" was what our Italian tour leader
used to say to us as we stepped off the
bus to do MORE walking..
meaning "C'mon, let's go people"!!
;))))
We loved listening to his tour guide
talks about the history of the 
places we visited.
Franco was a charmer for sure;))) ]

*****************************
It is another gray day here, but much warmer
than it has been the past week; we hear that
rains and wind are in the forecast for later
on today and tomorrow...
So......
Happy that we have Formula One (F1)
racing to watch this afternoon and
early evening...it's in Texas this
time...
