Missed Filth, and unless I get my skates on, will miss these too alas. But what discoveries - I am really pleased I know now that acorns will protect me from lightning.

She gave me the book of the retablos for Christmas, but I didn't realise the exhibition had carried on so long.<br /><br />The lucky charms look interesting too. In my wanderings for the Billiken blog, I found this site.<br />https://www.churchofgoodluck.com/<br /><br />I'm not sure about the 'church' aspect(!), but their 'Museum of Good Luck' pages are really interesting. The curio catalogue pages are fantastic.Kitsch and Curioushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13199950395051649169noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1805967105022667872.post-10323358331774402232012-02-24T12:07:31.956+00:002012-02-24T12:07:31.956+00:00Oh I'm gutted I've missed the Mexican exhi...Oh I'm gutted I've missed the Mexican exhibition, it looks WONDERFUL, right up my street!

I should have mentioned it but you found it anyway and how envious I am that you did. The eclectic nature of this would have kept me occupied for hours. Amulets and charms sounds like the stimulus for a body of work..... The website for the Wellcome Foundation has some amazing photographs from their collections. I'm particularly fond of the bearded ladies and the gigantic lady from the mountains... now you'll have to go and look to see what I'm on about....LAC EMP 2020https://www.blogger.com/profile/01999825212820503519noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1805967105022667872.post-52726464385073882682012-02-23T23:19:51.746+00:002012-02-23T23:19:51.746+00:00I'm going to keep an eye on this place - it lo...I'm going to keep an eye on this place - it looks very interesting!

I really enjoy seeing all these exhibitions through your eyes ... they must all be so inspiring to experience in real life.<br /><br />I remember the Oxford St Top Shop ... it was just down the road from the Body Shop where I used to pretend I liked flogging soap and cream to people.Makeminemidcenturyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15304535583168822160noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1805967105022667872.post-42644745234232822472012-02-23T22:03:34.848+00:002012-02-23T22:03:34.848+00:00Thanks for alerting me to this place.

That's good too.lovelygreyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03495658084025268325noreply@blogger.com
