Tabitha Has Her Old Life Back
Our little canine visitor went home late yesterday afternoon. Tabitha is rejoicing that she doesn't have to run to the attic any more as Henry's friendliness was not welcomed. He was just trying to get acquainted but that wasn't on Tabitha's list of things she wanted to do. She barely tolerates Webster after all these years. This attic lookout is in my kitchen over the opening to the living room. I took these photos yesterday morning when she was trying to determine if the coast was clear. As it turned out, it was not!

Folly on a Bridge
via What a wonderful place to stand and enjoy the view from so many different directions. It's probably in England, agreed? Simply lovely.
Nanking Sauceboat c.1750 with Repairs
I have had the most fun recently viewing a wonderful blog devoted to repaired ceramics called Past Imperfect, The Art of Inventive Repair. Dealer/collector Andrew Baseman is especially fond of pieces with more than one form of early repair. This Chinese porcelain sauceboat has a metal replacement handle as its first repair. When it was dropped a second time, an 18th century china mender applied 9 metal staples. I have always been fascinated by these make-do repairs, the ultimate in early recycling.
