EVENING PRIMROSE DOWN MATTRESS

This page from Mrs. Trowbridge's journal includes a touch of romance. It surprised me a bit when I first read it. Shrews and pink nighties? Somehow I just can't put the two together. But hey, I'm not a shrew. What do I know?

Mrs. T liked to paint flowers on the vases in her cottage. I put this page under my microscope and identified the flower on the night stand pitcher as an orange honeysuckle. That's a Monkey flower on the large vase behind the bed. I wish you could see the small details better.

She usually did a tight pencil drawing, then put a watercolor wash on top of it, but sometimes she would let her pencil drawing stand alone. Such is the case with the drawing of their bedroom on the bottom of the page.

  6. Bron, I am so prone to tears these days...it's hard to be a TART ya know... but this little note from the Mrs. just simply brings me JOY. I love that she is getting her nighty out! I just am so glad that there is a tad bit of Tart in her... although none CHEAP... she is a sweet soul.

    The Tart
