It's really them!

                                                                                                          
This is really them,Christopher Robin and Pooh Bear.It's beautiful but it just makes me sad.Perhaps 'saudade' is the right term here.

Says something to me,unsure what.

Is it true that the pigtail that the Hare Krishna's keep is to symbolize something to be pulled up to heaven by?I must ask.Any religion that involves lot's of dancing is fine by me but I don't believe that Morris dancing is sanctioned be the C of E is it?

Pinterest interest

Just started playing with pinterest and found this via Lisa Coles.Unsure about the protocol,but many thank's Lisa.As to the light's,so obvious,why didn't you think of that?                                                     {the hallmark of a good design I think}

The job I'd really like



I like the fake chart put out by,I believe,American apparel below,but let's face fact's.What a joy it must be to sit and name the paint's for Farrow and Ball.Much more interesting that the telephone book,and I'm in that!

Coincidence?





Surfing  about and taking a pic from here and a pic from there as one is apt to do,I was struck by the likeness of the two images that I had placed unknowingly beside each other on my desktop.The headdress jewels?Or something more?The painting is Maria von Burgund,Duchess of Burgundy,the girl is Penelope Tree,sixty's girl par excellence.
Style is timeless.

A girl in each window

Harpo Marx said that he wanted enough children so that when he looked back at his house upon leaving there would be one in each window.

The devious art of deception


Some Bakst



Some Bakst as you can never really have enough .
Amazing to think that these are not just drawing's but designs that actually came to fruition,but I took this from a book about the Sotheby's discovery of some of these pieces:'pulling out a gorgeously embroidered eighteenth-century coat,immediately identified as a creation by Bakst for 'The Sleeping Princess',that most lavish of all spectacles,we assumed,because of it's splendour,that it was worn by the king or Prince Charming-but no,there where five more like it:it was just one of the courtiers' in the background'
That's the way to do it!
