why don't you? ii & a Birthday

.
 from yesterday's post- why don't you?, I received this comment- from the ever tuned in, turned on the HOUSE OF BEAUTY & CULTURE-

"all that is missing is Truman Capote circa 1977."

TRUMAN sprawling 1977

Yes, Truman did have a thing for Victoriana- the furniture that is- 

So what about a Truman Victoriana Redux?

well-not to disturb any literary spirits-

& in that spirit-

Prints, Pattern-that Truman would approve of-all from QUADRILLE.

He decorated with damasks, Japanese obi textiles, quilts, florals, batiks- So yeah, He went for it all 

Here- Truman -as a younger Victorian.

so tell me what you think?

why don't you?

& DO wish TRU a Happy Birthday- born September 30th 1924.  

Now playing for HOBAC- did you hear this in '77?
