Simpkin at the Tailor's Bedside - Beatrix Potter Watercolor

One of twenty-two original watercolors circa 1902 for The Tailor of Gloucester, Beatrix Potter's second and favorite book. The collection is in the Tate in London. via

Black with A Touch of White

I don't know why, but this house fascinates me. I want to go inside and check it out. Remember when I was trying to decide what color to paint my cottage and I was thinking of a dark color? I'm glad I went with all white. 



It's very interesting inside too. This cabin in Quebec is a rental. See more photos here. All photos by Jean Longpré.

Baby Elephant Sweetness

Baby Elephant to Mother:
"Let me hold your tusk so I won't get lost." 

Thomas Jefferson Triple Hung Window

Here's another window that doubles as a door when you open it from the floor. It wasn't long ago that I'd never seen one but now that I'm looking I see them more and more. What a great idea. Isn't this paneled room fabulous? See you later. via
