Nasturtiums
by Audrey Regan
High on the Art-is-Life terrace overlooking Toronto, I plant everything that I happen to love. Even if the conditions aren't ideal for a certain plant or shrub, I plant it anyway and try to make it work. The blast of colour that greets me every morning when I step outside with my coffee is the reward. Holding a prominent place in the Art-is-Life "fiesta garden" is the nasturtium. I love this flower and cannot say enough about it. But let me try.
Versace
He left the world too soon but, while here, he lived a heavenly life. Come
inside for a peek at some of the rooms in the late Gianni Versace's Miami mansion.

We went searching for banners and other fabric art, such as kites, tapestries, religious and cathedral hangings, and even Japanese kimonos (next issue!), but nothing we found could compare with the flags of the world, for sheer impact and simplicity. Each is a work of art and, when combined, the results can be sensational. We will offer suggestions for hanging flags in your home, apartment or loft. Each flag is three feet by five feet in size. All of the treatments we will show you are easy to accomplish, even for those with minimal do-it-yourself skills.
