And speaking of Florals...

Saw these on Krisatomic and swooned; those colours! those colours, I say! I have a real thing for botanical illustrations and these ones really get my juices flowing (sorry, that sounds horrible) - they're from 'Treasures of Botanical Art: Icons from Shirley Sherwood and Kew Collections' (by Shirley Sherwood and Martin Rix) a book that, frankly, I will be acquiring ASAP.

  2. These illustrations are gorgeous! Have you ever been into Cambridge Cottage on the edge of Kew Gardens? They have loads of delicate botanical illustrations on the walls. Beautiful.
