(these guys were cool too)

Just a taste of what's to come...
Do you remember me telling you how much I'd love to have gone to see The Toys of The Avant Garde Exhibition in Malaga?
Well, fly over now to Mondo-blogo and feast your eyes on the jaw-droppingly wonderful (no, no words can describe how much I love this sort of thing) set of catalogue scans posted there.
Oh-là, sacré billet!
I'm OK, 
Taking deep breaths, 
Ecstatic that I've saved enough pocket money to buy my own copy too.

    J'ai été aussi très tentée de prendre un billet pour Malaga. Si l'expo déménage à Valence, ce sera juste un peu moins loin... donc possible, non ? A suivre.
