Mrs. T liked to paint flowers on the vases in her cottage. Painting flowers seemed to send her into great heights of joy. I put this page under my magnifying glass 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 better see the small details.
She usually did a tight pencil drawing, then painted a watercolor wash on top of it. But sometimes she would let her pencil drawing stand alone, as you see in the drawing of her bedroom above.

I'm not sure Mrs. Trowbridge intended for strangers to read this page, so I'm feeling a little guilty. The drawing is really beautiful, particularly the detailed, tidy bedroom.
Such a quaint & cozy little room!!! My hamster would appreciate that "Nest Sweet Nest" picture...if she could read.... Looking forward, as always, to the next installation of the Trowbridge Chronicles!
Excellent post. This post shows that writing is an art. Hats off to the writer. This blog is also very informative and useful for me.
