Thanks nonna!  I also found these treasures at the morning market. I love how they all perfectly colour coordinate. On Monday, my mum and I went to the cinemas to watch 'Once Upon a Time in Hollywood'. I thought about watching it when I last went to the cinemas with my friend Deana to see the Lion King but then I promptly forgot about it.
