pick a luxury item, what's yours?
If you could bring home any luxury item home from your next trip and money was not an issue, what would it be? <BR>Mine would be a Venetian Fortuny lamp, they are amazing. Dream on folks....

Hi Liz: <BR> <BR>My luxury item would be the blue marble bathroom at the the Vendome Hotel in Paris. It is truly magnificent!

The painting Primavera, painted in the 1400's by Botticelli. It is a delightful masterpiece in the Uffizi. <BR>Actually, anything by Raphael, Lippi, L. da Vinci, or my favorite, Michelangelo, would do. <BR>Fun thread

Brasserie Balzar, complete with entire kitchen staff, all wait staff, and their food-sourcing system. I'd be broke, fat and happy.

You eat gelato from a cone in order to have your tongue hanging out for a reason - drooling, licking the gelato - who's to know?
