Bric a brac

I managed to avoid accumulating more clutter for our home, but visiting friends were seduced by an odd, art-deco-ish three-tier cake stand at a market stall. The lavender added a lovely whiff of ye olde to the stall. The drawing looks flat, as if the whole thing were a printed pattern... that was unintentional!

England (II)

In the next village, a church service for pets last Sunday, including blessing.  Couldn't resist going for the photo op. Drawing done only today, so alas, not from observation. The vicar brought her own two dogs, of course.

Deer

Walking in the parks of the Burghley Estate in Stamford yesterday, we saw two deer with the most phenomenal antlers. I took some photos and made a quick sketch after I downloaded them today.

Cherries

Very busy and unusually sociable weekend and more visitors through next week. R. brought huge, firm, delicious cherries.
