MERRY CHRISTMAS everyone.

I love this image and hope you do too. I prefer "dreaming" of a white Christmas rather than having one since I have to drive later today. I hope you are all safe and cozy wherever you are.

A Curious Dog in Mother Goose Rhymes

Missy hasn't been doing any of these strange things. I thought this dog looked like her breed though. So far, we are having a quiet Sunday morning after a chilly brisk walk. She's patiently awaiting her breakfast but isn't begging. 

Just waiting.

See more of these delightful woodcuts of this dog doing funny things when the owner goes out to get him something.

Have a great Sunday. xo

Wonderful Interior Details in A Children's Book published in 1900

A delightful wood engraving by Hans Tegner. Denmark. 1853-1932. It appeared in a book of fairy tales and stories by Hans Christian Andersen published in 1900 in the collection of The New York Public Library. It seems so sophisticated for a children's book and could easily be in one of today's Interior Design magazines or coffee table books. The room's decor is timeless. An adult reading to a child would have enjoyed this artwork and the idea of the story is perfectly illustrated for a child to enjoy and understand too! I love it, don't you?

UPDATE: I JUST DISCOVERED A LINK FOR THE ACTUAL BOOK OF FAIRY TALES AND STORIES BY HANS CHRISTIAN ANDERSEN PUBLISHED IN 1900. IT HAS BEEN DIGITIZED BY THE NEW YORK PUBLIC LIBRARY. 

There are 524 pages. 

Who knows what else you will discover!

ENJOY! xo
