Lovely!

Found this lovely site called The Land Between Solar Systems… Not sure how (like always) and there’s just tones of pretty pictures! She’s an artist with her own Etsy shop. Some nude stuff that I could live without, but whatever floats your boat. Some nice pictures I found there.

I really like this tattoo, very art nouveu.

Arthur Rackham

You don’t need a reason to post some nice Rackham images. I should get a book with some of his work in it.

Famous Tea Parties

People don’t have tea parties anymore do they? I have never been invited to a tea party and I have never ever heard of anyone that has. Never heard of anything like that, getting invited for coffee sure but that’s not a tea party. Why not? Sound like fun. People have tex mex parties, plain old dinners, sex and the city evenings but no tea parties? Strange…

Boston Tea Party, not an actually tea party but still… Why destroy all that tea? I would have taken it and have an actually tea party, that would have been nice, invite EVERYONE and have tea and talk about it instead.

A Mad Tea Party, illustration by Arthur Rackham… Poor Alice looks so bored… Not a very good host is he. I love the hare in that picture, big black eyes, looks stoned doesn't he?

John Bauer

I remember this picture from…? Well I don’t remember when or where but I remember that picture and I liked it then and I like it now. It’s a little art nouveau isn’t it? I love the way she shines. Her name is Tuvstarr and it's from Bland tomtar och troll.

Arthur Rackham

The wonderful art of Arthur Rackham, what can you say? They are just so… calming? I just love old fairy tales; they don’t make stuff like this anymore.There’s an art nouveau feeling to them and I guess I don’t need any wallpaper, I could just have pictures and art everywhere instead. How nice would it be to have one of these over you entire wall? Pretty damn nice.

Weird new craving…

Tote bag, what on earth would I do with one? Anyway, found this super cute one at Emily the Strange, a new take on the classic art nouveau print by Théophile Steinlen.

Sunday...

Spent the day at the Dance museum and the Alphonse Mucha exhibit, it was a little too small perhaps and it as close to being crowded. In the gift shop I found two cute tin cans that I bought, including several postcards.
Then returning some books and getting some new ones from the library, like Miranda Innes “Traditional Quilts From Around The World” for the third time, I really must get my own copy of that one.
Home for a walk with the dog and then… Tea and toasties, nothing could spoil this day. Not me getting my period on the way home and cramps, not the fact that everyone is burning leaves in their gardens today or the fact that “someone” called and asked me to work with less the 2 hours until “someone” wanted me to be there. Mom was an angel and said I wasn’t home and I just sipped my tea and not giving a damn.
Blueberry tea and toasties with cheese and tomatoes, yummy.

(All mine!)
