after the ball is over...


The tootsies are aching but what a buzz it was on Sunday at the concert! 
Largest audience for quite a while, and the hubbub of hundreds in the audience certainly spoke volumes for the enjoyment of all - including the performer!
Back to the drawing board today though and now have got several new designs for the organ cognoscenti.

Rieger's magnificent organ in the cathedral in Fulda, Germany, must be one of the most striking in the world. I recall sitting in the body of the church while helping with registration and hearing the gasps of admiration from visitors as they turned and took in their first sight of this fairy-tale organ.
The façade just glistens... and the sound matches the sight...a glorious, glorious instrument, by anyone's standard.

Frombork in Poland boasts a similarly gorgeous organ - and in an historic Cathedral to boot. Copernicus is buried there and the whole town (once known as Fraught when owned by Germany!) ripples with history.

So these two now appear on two mousepads, and to go with the popular "I drive a pipe organ" series I have made two new bumper stickers along the same theme - well, almost.
Best to check these out by having a look at the  latest designs section of my shop 
oops can smell the roast burning.
Time to play housewives again.
