Marilyn's Photos - Aug 9 2025 - Gold Leaf Everywhere
I love gold leaf. There was a period where I used it in baking and would put little flakes on cakes and soufflé dessert creations. It became unavailable - even at Toronto's largest baking store which was located near me. I have kept some sheets, and every once in a while decorate a birthday cake.
When I started water colours, I thought how wonderful it would be too be able to paint with gold, bronze and silver so I got some metal water colours. They were OK, but I found out that the really beautiful gold in pictures was actual gold. I had admired this Sleeping Bee and went to the artist site and she described a complicated and delicate process for applying the actual gold.
Here we are today with the White House being adorned in gold scrolls - just like the little Sleeping Bee picture.
Here's a picture of the "Old Days" with the Clinton/Biden blue rug and simple decor.
This picture has been shown a lot - doesn't that look like trophies and couldn't there be a sleeping be int he scroll work at right?

There is so much attention to his decorating in the press that there are guides.
This week's additions - so much gold that whatever the $600 billion about is dwarfed. The Sun King arrives in the Oval Office.
Little did we know we had something in common with Donald Trump. Here's my own version of shiny.
