Cupcakes and Tea in Mother Rabbit's Kitchen

Posted by MAKMU ta On Friday, February 10, 2012


I love this painting by Susan Wheeler. I've always been fascinated by animals and how they live and decorate their homes in the fantasy world.

Randolph Caldecott Illustrations are So Charming

Posted by MAKMU ta On Wednesday, January 11, 2012


This was photographed from one of my antiquarian picture books by R. Caldecott (1846-1886). It is a scene from 'A Frog He Would A-Wooing Go' that couldn't be more charming. Mr. Rat and Froggy are on their best behavior while being entertained at Mousey's Hall by Miss Mousey herself.

New Year's Eve

Posted by MAKMU ta On Saturday, December 31, 2011

Will you be able to stay up until midnight tonight? I found this delightful Maj Lindman illustration on Flickr and loved it so much I put it in my sidebar. I love the red orange and white striped pajamas, don't you?

Girl and her Friends Writing Letters

Posted by MAKMU ta On Wednesday, December 28, 2011

 
This letter seems to be a real group effort, doesn't it? The girl and her dolls, teddy bear, and pets are very deep in thought and are putting their best efforts into good penmanship.

Last Minute Christmas Shopping in 1936

Posted by MAKMU ta On Friday, December 16, 2011

‘Twas The Night Before Christmas by J.C. Leyendecker, 1936 found on Google images. Maybe this will motivate everyone to snap out of it and make Christmas before the last minute. Me included.
