Everything but the Girl

Everything but the Girl, originally uploaded by kmcgivney.

We're back from our honeymoon, and I'm getting reacquainted with actually working for a living. Of course, we still have lots of photos to post, so I'm working on that in my spare time as well.

This image was taken outside a shop in Orvieto called Il Mago di Oz (the Wizard of Oz in Italian). The shop is owned by an artisan who creates wonderful little toys and decorative objects that move and light up and do all sorts of fantastic things. He had little models of fairs and carnivals for many cities - when we told him we were from New York, he showed us his working model for Coney Island, with a mini working rollercoaster! Check out the packed shop (including his collection of Betty Boop) in his site's gallery.
