Ok, well these images are a little unrelated but I kinda like them all the same!Happy Hump Day folks!
P.S. Thank you everyone for all your lovely comments and enthusiasm for my drawings - it's very encouraging!!




























I'm glad that you said that the images were a little unrelated because I was struggling to successfully connect the dots. I love these images too! Especially the Andre Kertesz one! Hope you had a happy hump day Sam! Fingers crossed that the remainder of the working week zooms by!

J'adore the revolving doors photograph - I've always had a slight obsession with revolving doors - they seem like a playground of sorts! Happy day to you, darling! :)

I LOVE that butterfly flapper image! Wouldn't that make a great tatoo for someone so inclined?! A flapper butterfly would also make a fun Halloween costume come to think of it :)

Hi Sam,
I love that train wreck image - a bit how I'm feeling today!Funny how a bad night's sleep affects you.
Enjoy your evening with your dad tonight - I'll be around Manly too. Would be funny if we bumped into each other unknowingly.
You're most forgiven too for the gi-normous comment. I'll be posting some new vintage dresses, hats and bags up on Saturday (fingers crossed).
Have a great rest of your week. :)

Beautiful Wednesday inspirations dear Sam!! I adore them all, but find Montparnesse Station Train wreck the most fascinating... I'd seen it before but had no idea where it came from. Can you imagine that thing crashing through the building? Astounding.
Wishing you a fabulous Thursday!! *besos*
