For me, it is rather fabric and embroidery that catch my attention. Last week I was walking along and my eyes were drawn like a magnet to this piece of antique goldwork:
The whole exquisite piece was framed and behind glass:
Now where on earth would you find such a jewel?
Below is a hint.
No?
Well, the piece of goldwork is on the wall of a corridor inside this building!
Where are we?
Here is another clue.
Venice?
Gondolas?
Japanese gondoliers!
Could it be any other place than - DisneySea in Tokyo?!
The dinner show was on a fabric related theme, too. The story was about a stage show where props and costumes had gone missing and the clever cast used other things; the curtains in the first picture became gowns (can you see the tassels?) and instead of hats they used lampshades (in pink and orange).
I had a nice time and was so happy to see some authentic embroidery in this Disney world of make-believe.

disney places seem to be popping up all over the world. A remarkable piece of gold work, good on you for spotting it.
It was the last place I would have thought to find something 'real'!!!
I never would have guessed Disney for anything as gorgeous as that gold work! Shows how wrong I can be :-)
I, too, love when an unexpected, and good of course, thing happen.
