Everyday I've walked past this shop in Venice, and everyday it's been closed. So, I finally contacted the artist, who opened it for me today... I couldn't resist buying one of these exquisite air balloons.

I used to live near Venice, may I ask you where the shop is? The balloon you bought is really nice!
@DrLindseyFitzharris that is beautiful! May I ask...what was the price? (Absolutely none of my business of course, so I absolutely understand if you don't want to disclose)

@WanabeSelkie Of course! It was 280 euros. All handmade, really beautiful. Here's the artist's info:

La Bottega di Pre: C. Longa Santa Maria Formosa, 5239, 30122 Venezia VE, Italy.

@DrLindseyFitzharris that's a very good price for such a beautiful piece of Art! Thank you for sharing. I imagine I shall get entirely lost on their IG😍
@DrLindseyFitzharris Just beautiful. I hope to get to Venice one day!
@DrLindseyFitzharris Beautiful. Where in Venice is it located?

@DrLindseyFitzharris
This is absolutely amazing!
Oh... how beautiful.

It reminds me of the 2019 movie "The Aeronauts". Did you happen to see it? Wonderful film.
