I love Redoute's botanical etchings. His roses always sing out to me. I've got a few vintage prints that are awaiting a hanging either side of my desk with the window separating them - they'll cheer me up no end.Apparently Napleon's Josephine learned to draw under Redoute's tutelage. Imagine...
Roses are the biz, PPMJ. And I'm loving the little car pic below. You find such pretty things, little bower bird. x

ReplyDeleteooh, will have to check that one out Corinne...

ReplyDeleteWhy yes Milissa they are - that's why I envy those placemats so!
ReplyDeleteBeth, try placing them in the sun for a bit - they might open a tad. So long as the stems are freshly cut they shouldn't droop. They'll look lovely anyway. Squeee in excitement for tomorrow - and hoping that two couples fall desperately in love with your home - or maybe three...
Oh my. That inspires me to paint! Thank you!
