    Friday was always Fish and Chip day in many households, and Dr S is a massive fan of the meal. He always has two fish, greedy but as it’s his time away from the stove I don’t mind. James Downie with his red signature.

    This is jolly and bright. I posted a picture by Leif Södergren yesterday. Swedish artist who paints in the old fashioned style. This is one of his Christmas card designs.

    This Illustration is by Igor Oleynikov. It’s taken from a book which has the sad title ‘The Tale of Despereaux’ The story of a tiny sickly mouse who has big ears and loves music and honey. His name means despair.

    Mark Edwards for another. This one I haven’t seen before and it begins a new style as he adds colour and beautiful light to his painting. .

    Posting the last Artists work made me think of a similar style by Mark Edwards. His paintings are solitary and silent. Usually in snow and always full of mystery. Catto Gallery for more.

    I won’t bore you all by posting any more. Books are always good for Christmas presents. One Christmas at my stall on Northallerton Market a customer bought from me a book for every family member. Dr S and I ate well that year. Wonderful reward for standing in the cold.

    Mississippi Library staff on their Mobile Library in the 1950s I think. They look very smart. Those were the days when folk were well turned out. Some still are as fashions return to this era.

    You are going to have to let me indulge in something I’m passionate about. Mobile Libraries and their ilk. If I was still in the book business this is the way I’d have gone. Meeting other readers and selling books was a perfect life and being able to move from place to place. 😊

    New followers may not have seen one of the latest idea for artists to showcase their talents. This is one of the nicest I’ve seen. Russian Illustrators Alexei Lyapunov and Lena Ehrlich creating illustrations of everyday life in miniature. So clever.

    No snow this time but it’s beautifully lit. Frederick Childe Hassam for another outing.

    Staying with cold and snow as I post this painting by Frederick Childe Hassam (American 1859-1935) I’m a sucker for horse and carriage paintings and this is lovely...

    I love this dreamy photograph. It’s almost ethereal. Looks very cold misty and December like. Courtesy of L’Assommoir on tumblr.

    How lovely. Margaret Winifred Tarrant(1888-1959) Her father Percy Tarrant was also an artist. She was pre-occupied with chronicling innocent childhood in its many moods. Her work for ‘Medici’ producing cards and pictures made her name.

    And possibly the most famous Elisabeth Sonrel painting ‘Our Lady of the Cow Parsley. I like this so much I bought a print of it for our bookroom door. The direct gaze pulls me in to both her painting and our bookroom.

    So newer followers can see mote Elisabeth Sonrel paintings I’m posting a couple more. Whilst I do understand that Mucha was more popular and feted, I do believe both Elisabeth Sonrel and Eugene Grasset have been a little overlooked. This Elisabeth Sonrel

    Elisabeth Sonrel (French 1874-1953) is another artist whose paintings I admire greatly. This is her ‘Winter’ painting, she created a picture for each of the four seasons.

    Another of my ‘go to’ artist for months is Edith Holden (1871-1920) Her books were SO popular at one time that second hand copies were like hens teeth! I’ve sold very many of The Country Diary of an Edwardian Lady and her others. Beautiful and need a revival.

    Good Morning Everyone. December has arrived before I’ve thought about November properly...where does the time go. Starting as I usually do for the start of the month with Eugene Grasset (1845-1917)
