Still Summer

The weather is wonderful. The sun is shining and it's nice and hot. 

No need to say goodbye to summer just yet.

Tamara

Tamara de Lempicka (1898-1980). The star painter of the interwar years aka la belle Polonaise.

This is her self portrait titled Autoportrait or Tamara in the Green Bugatti (1929).

Art deco at its finest.

Octagonal Green Floral Origami Bag

This is the reverse side of this green floral octagonal bag.

The fabric used is a fairly heavyweight cotton with discreet green stripes in an almost sage hue, with superimposed floral details in a more vivid green.

You can see the floral fabric of the other side peeking through in this picture.
