Idiome/Maximen/Sprichwörter | | Französisch Begriff oder Satz: Du fil à la pâte | | Somebody with an eye for a pun has given this title to an exhibition about the development of a town's economic activity. As I understand it, the first activity was "drapery" and the second "pottery". But "From drapery to pottery" loses the "fun" element of the original title. My first thought was "from thread to bread", but that's the wrong kind of "pate". From cloth to clay? From loom to kiln? All suggestions gratefully received! |
| | Notiz(en) an den/des Fragesteller(s)Josephine79: 10:30am Nov 8, 2006: Back to the drawing board.... - Thanks for your input , however, we need to re-think as I have had further info. from the client - all I had to go on was the title and it transpires that it's not a reference to the town's pottery industry, but to the fact that there was an important PASTA factory there until recently.... Unfortunately I still don't think that "from thread to bread" is going to fit. Any ideas?

| | From Needles to Noodles | Erklärung:
While I've switched from thread to needles, this suggestion does stay with the idea of the drapery industry and give you a play on words :-)
