Chapter 152 or "Yes, btch, I'll make you cry."

Let's go through the list... this chapter had a lot of character tears, a lot of reader tears... and my angst radar was broken in general.

"You are my daughter too, Penelope."

I was pleasantly surprised to see the scenes where Reynold and Derrick tell the Duke that Ivonne is missing.

Reynold's tears, the pain and guilt on Derrick's face... and in the end as Pennel is the only one who sees the Duke's true pain over the loss of his daughter.

Without exaggeration, I love this chapter. I love the last two chapters. And while I wanted the coming-of-age ceremony to finally be shown...I realized I needed the Duke and Penelope talking. I needed all these frames, from the first to the last.

I feel that little Og Penelope's smile has fooled me. This sunshine mercilessly broke my heart-!

Thanks to this chapter, we were able to see the scene of the meeting between the Duke and Og Penelope in a different way. Thanks to this chapter, we are more sensitive to the moment of Penelope's adoption.

And this is not Cha Siyeon. This is the girl who disappeared in the prologue of the manhwa and the novel.

The girl who didn't hear all the words... the girl who didn't feel the warmth of said father's awkward embrace.

"Goodbye, father."

Thanks, @red-hot-temper , for showing the new chapters!

Publishers' Binding Thursday

I found this book while browsing the stacks in search of a good publishers' binding. This one does not disappoint! This is Italian Hours by American-British author Henry James, published in 1909 by Houghton Mifflin Co. Italian Hours is a book of travel essays about Italy, a country that James loved, that are considered very charming but not unrealistic. This edition features illustrations of Italian scenes by American etcher, lithographer, and illustrator Joseph Pennell.

The cover features a mosaic-esque design stamped in gold with a blue florals and flourishes and leafy green patterns. The book cloth is a brickish red-orange color and the spine features a motif similar to that of the front cover. There's nothing special about the endsheets, which is always a disappointment to me. I just wish more people paid attention to the endsheets! But otherwise it's a very nice binding.

A Carlo Scarpa Vase Found in a Thrift Store Sells For $107,000 at Auction

When Jessica Vincent, who raises polo ponies on a farm outside Richmond, Virginia, was shopping at a Goodwill store in that city, she likely had no idea she might come upon a rare and perfectly intact glass vase by a renowned Italian designer that would fetch six figures at auction—but that’s exactly what happened.

That vase, the so-called “Pennellate” vase or Model 3664, by famed architect and designer Carlo Scarpa (1906–78) hit the block on December 13 at Wright Auction House, tagged with an estimate of $30,000–$50,000. It sold for $107,100.

“It’s an amazing story, that this very sophisticated piece of glass finds its way to Virginia,” said Richard Wright, founder of the auction house, in a phone interview. “It was expensive, not mass-produced, and it falls through the cracks all the way down to the Goodwill. It’s not even chipped.”

He added: “And this very charming woman who raises polo ponies finds it, and she isn’t sure what she’s found but she’s smart enough to do her research. She finds the Italian glass group on Facebook, and is smart enough not to sell it for the first offer she gets, of $10,000.”

Standing about 13½-inches high, the object dates from about 1947 and is made with pieces of applied opaque and transparent glass that mimic brushstrokes across the glass’s surface (pennellate means brushstroke in Italian). Scarpa designed it for the Italian art glass maker Venini, located on the Venetian island of Murano.

Wright Auction House described the vessel as one of the rarest pieces the house has offered in a decade of auctions, and in fact only one other vase with this exact color combination is known to exist, in what the house calls an established private collection. The vase was included in its “Important Italian Glass” sale, which also offered examples by designers including Ercole Barovier, Tomaso Buzzi, and Dino Martins.

The current auction high for a Scarpa vase is also a Venini piece, a Laccati Neri e Rossi from 1940 that fetched about $309,000 at Christie’s Paris in 2012, soaring past its high estimate of about $64,000, according to the Artnet Auction Price Database.

Trained as an architect and designer, Scarpa is known for his architectural renovations, his glass, and his industrial design. He has come in for a renewed round of attention in recent years, for example in an exhibition organized by contemporary sculptor Carol Bove and pairing her own work with his, at the Henry Moore Institute in Leeds, England and at Museion in Bolzano, Italy.

“Venini Glass by Carlo Scarpa: The Venini Company, 1932-1947” appeared at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in 2013–14. It was while working with Venini, the museum said, that Scarpa “redefined the parameters of glassblowing in terms of aesthetics and technical innovation.” He created two dozen styles of vases, “pioneering techniques, silhouettes and colors that thoroughly modernized the ancient tradition of glassblowing.” In the 1930s and 1940s, their collaborations were on display at venues including the Milan Triennale and the Venice Biennale.

рандомное рассуждение по поводу возраста дворецкого

давайте приглядимся и увидим, что у него во время пропажи Ивонн УЖЕ седые волосы, следовательно он уже старше Герцога.

у мужчин европеоидной расы ранняя седина проявляется в возрасте 25 лет(данные интернета). дворецкому, если судить по его морщинам, уже явно больше 25 лет.

хочу хэдить, что Феннелю на настоящий момент чуть больше 55 лет.

плюсом!! он так бережно обнимает герцога((( я реально хочу плакать, я заплакала вчера только от одного этого фрейма

герцогу настолько плохо, что он даже не оьращает внимания на поддержку(( я плачу

Welcome to an Incomplete Tour of the Eckhart Estate Part 2!

This part focuses solely on Penelope's bedroom! We've seen various parts of Penelope's room, but the whole thing was never shown in one picture, so let's put them together!

First of all, let's acknowledge that if we ever get the chance to move into this estate, Penelope's room would be the best room to take for ourselves for the simple reason that!

Reynold is probably here more frequently than his freaking bathroom.

And I only have three here because there's a limit of 30 pictures allowed per post and this one's going to have a lot. There are many, many, many other occasions where he barged in like it was his own room without any hesitation or knocking.

Next!

Her room is nice!

It has big windows on every corner, making it nice and bright and the view from her windows is also quite nice! Notice how the coloring of the window in the fourth image probably means you can watch the sunset.

Additionally, it has brown walls with gold stripes, which in my opinion is cozy.

Her carpet is gorgeous and high quality, please and thank you:

I mean like seriously, can we talk about how perfect her room is and how detailed? Look at the pictures of her bed:

Also, looking back at the pictures of the several times when Reynold barged into her room like some uncivil-- (sorry I tend to speak this way about him just cuz that's the kind of affection I have for Reynold)

Ahem!!

Where he's opened her door all the way looks straight at her and this image:

The head of Penelope's bed is against the wall to the right of the main doors to her room, all the way on the other side of the room next to the window.

Seeing how it's in front of Pennel here when he just entered the room, it's also the first you thing when entering her room.

The doors behind Reynold in this picture:

Are actually the doors of her bookshelf, which is to the right of her work table and behind her sitting area, which is situated between the foot of her bed and the shelf:

^ The painting above the shelf that can be seen behind Reynold too and the shelf beneath it

v Penelope's sitting area

This is her small work table and the shelf next to it:

And here's her sitting area:

There's also a sofa somewhere here, but don't know it's exact location

Hey, btw... Is her floor here covered in LEATHER?!

Additionally, she has a mirror hanging on the wall next to her left door:

There's a table too, although it seems there's nothing on it.

So to summarize, the layout of her room is something like this:

I don't really know where her closet or bathroom are, though.

Speaking of her bathroom!

It's majestic!!

The walls are lined with mirrors!

There's a huge window!

It's all white, which makes it extremely bright!

There's a small area for her to change into clothes and tables everywhere and a dressing table and despite all this it still maintains a minimalistic style!!

I could have her bathroom as a bedroom in the mansions and still be satisfied, I swear.

And lastly, I thought it was necessary to include the stairs leading up to Penelope's room, haha I'm obsessed

Right here:

As you can see, these stairs are also beautiful.

The rug has the same theme as the first floor corridors; a purple and gold, and there's a design etched onto the railing as well, in the same color.

Alright! That concludes part 2 of the Eckhart estate tour: Penelope's room! See you in part three, Duke Eckhart's Study!
