Exhibition

I didn't go to an exhibition as my friend felt too coldy and ill to go all that way. Instead we popped to Greenwich, visited the bookshop, wandered a bit and found a little Church sale where I pounced-yes almost literally, on a hoard of doilies-crocheted ones-all at prices such as 25p. They are so lovely! Not sure what they will become, if anything at all, but that was no reason not to buy them! I also bought a tiny silver funnel-for the dolls house collection. Also a map of the UK that I bought from a very old, really sweet lady who only a heartless wolf-or something like that-could have ignored! William left the country this morning-well my house anyway. And I sold my desk! Buy it now price-most exciting! I should look around the house for more stuff to sell!
Anyway, as I didn't get to go to an exhibition, I thought I would put on a small one of my own.

Little Wood People

littlewoodpeople is a shop on Etsy I discovered yesterday. It is full of amazing and varied characters and browsing through it is like reading a little story-each little person has such personality. Barbara Hart is the artist behind these little dolls. I love what she says in her profile about the dolls being a bit like a visual diary. The dolls above are called (left to right, top to bottom) Little Wood Octopi, Little Wood Man With Traumatic Injuries, Aliza and Little Wood Retro Robot. Go and meet the rest!

My Lacy Doilies

Lacy Illustrations

The Wedding Ghost by Leon Garfield, illustrated by Charles Keeping. I love Charles Keeping's work, which is what made me buy the book from the charity shop yesterday. I have not read it yet-but it looks very promising!

I also wanted to share this cartoon from the paper on Sunday. It really made me laugh!
