Raqib Shaw's work reminds me of old Japanese paintings, which are seldom seen out of the country. I love the photos of 'lines'. In my case, when I go somewhere modern(!), I get excited with straight lines (I live in old Canterbury). : ) I have also enjoyed the pretty photos of the mood board. So pretty! We have similar Hellebore, but I have been too busy to have a close look. I will do today, thank to you. : )Midorihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00635048215440828421noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4128828501166213335.post-17593441712844125542013-03-06T20:53:36.750+00:002013-03-06T20:53:36.750+00:00Nice portrait of you and your birds... and I thoug...Nice portrait of you and your birds... and I thought I had my hands full. ha ha ha <br />A fun place you've got here in Blogland! I don't think essential and gift shop (or thrift shop) have any business in the same sentence! Essential smacks of milk and tea bags ~ while gift shop spells "fun"!<br /> Love your great finds... <br />oh and those first pictures of the scary art(?) ~ well, I'm going to shake my head around a bit until the images go away.....

My favourite is the luggage tags, reminds me of Victorian stuff, simple. The lines idea, I call it making as much as we can when the sun comes out. I kept looking at shadows yesterday and realised just how much I have missed them. Have a wonderful week. Chel xsweetbriardreamshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03036932595395191529noreply@blogger.com
