What's In Your Bookcase?

Bookcases have always been a favorite feature in a home for me.
What better way to display books & art & a little bit of this and that .

Blast from the past- Antonio's Girls

When I was taking pictures of the office bookcases(posted 1/2011) for this blog,

I found a book that was signed and given to me by the incredibly talented fashion illustrator Antonio Lopez. The book is called Antonio's Girls(1982).  

as I had not looked at it for some time,I started to flip through the pages + was amazed with the body of work he produced.

Isn't he an amazing Talent?????
