It is a good break from my drawing (and at the moment waiting for glue to dry! please don't be offended) so I think it is time very well spent. I promise to email you a copy of the Mad Hatter's tea party drawing if I don't include it in a post :)Dollyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12477812986531102750noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8102162146315706774.post-37294699129835447212011-09-05T12:32:41.750+01:002011-09-05T12:32:41.750+01:00Dolly:

We have it carefully ensconced in a china cabinet as we fear that we should break it if we attempt to use or clean it.<br /><br />Enjoy a wonderful week!!!Jane and Lance Hattatthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16831890261259302647noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8102162146315706774.post-85393615221185953162011-09-05T12:20:29.848+01:002011-09-05T12:20:29.848+01:00Oh what a lovely morning I have spent with you bot...Oh what a lovely morning I have spent with you both in your gorgeous Hungarian home. However, I must get on with things, this is the last week before my Illustration Course begins on the 12th. I am working on a Summer Sketchbook of doodling, drawings and daydreams. Your Belleek (Irish connection noted!) teapot has truly inspired me, as I am doing an ink drawing of a Mad Hatter's Tea Party and it would look perfectly at home on the table. <br /><br />The shelf below the window in my bathroom is covered with seashells collected from my travels and it took me ages on Saurday to dust them all.<br /><br />So, it is either off to draw a shell-shaped teapot or to read the poems of Percy Bysshe SHELLey...difficult decision for a Daydreamer. Thank you for a morning well spent and I shall continue reading your archives another time with pleasure :)Dollyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12477812986531102750noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8102162146315706774.post-53768905592867721032011-05-15T08:23:56.483+01:002011-05-15T08:23:56.483+01:00Belle de Ville:
