When conducting a survey, eight out of ten cats said (meowed) that they believe it’s a Cat’s World and the other two cats were too cool for surveys. Is it a Cat’s World? #cats #allontheboard

Happy birthday Charles Rennie Mackintosh. The influential Scottish architect, designer & artist, famous for integrating ideas of modernism, Art Nouveau & Japanese aesthetics in his holistic design philosophy, was born today in 1868. #graphicdesign #artnouveau

#PostboxSaturday

Often mistaken for an ordinary wall box, Ludlows - often with white enamel plates - were made with wood and a cast iron frame, making them significantly cheaper for sub-postmasters at Post Offices to purchase. Prone to rot and replacement, they are becoming harder to find #postboxsaturday

Near Sawry,Lake District near Beatrix Potter’s home. This postbox appears in her book, “Peter Rabbit’s Almanac”. She also drew these type of geraniums in many of her books. #PostboxSaturday #SaturdayPostbox #LakeDistrict #BlueSkyArtShow #Vibrant #LandscapePhotography #Photography #Flowers

Remembering Isaiah Berlin on his birthday 🎂 📷 Richard Avedon, 1993 "Philosophers are adults who persist in asking childish questions."

Ely marketplace, on-the-spot watercolour drawing from 1998. Cathedral buildings are on the left. There is still trailer selling tea and coffee etc but that very strange hairy parasol has vanished. A lovely place a short train ride away for us and we go frequently. #Ely #watercolour #art #pleinair

Today's flowers are Love-in-a-mist

"There was a look like velvet in darker parts of the air; sombre window draperies let out gushes of lace; the music on the piano-forte bore tender titles, and the harp, though unplayed gleamed in a corner, beyond sofas, whatnots, armchairs, occasional tables all stood on tottering little feet."

Thing is, if a company makes pretty packaging I will make stationery out of it… 😁☕️🥣✂️♻️📮
