Going through some old Snippet & Ink posts and I came across this, it made me smile! Happy Sunday.

What is it about gingham that just says Summertime? In its all its many rainbow colours, it is just pure happiness. It is a cozy pattern, it screams of Christmas, of Spring bouquets tied up with it and the sweetness of a Summer picnic as a gingham tablecloth sits beneath your bounty.
Gingham, its a good thing!

Rides A Bike, is fast becoming one of my favourite sites to visit! Maybe it is because of my love of nostalgia and the romance of old Hollywood? Maybe it is because I want a bike so badly of my own to tootle away on. Whatever the reason, here are just a few images from their site that have brought a smile to my face, I hope they bring one to yours too!
The “hills are alive” with the fact that it is Wednesday! And that means we are almost riding into the weekend…

This made me smile when I took the photo. Just a box of pastels, in a rainbow of happy colours.

One of my colleagues in the Art Department is a wonderfully delightful woman. She usually marches into my cupboard in the morning, singing “Hello” to me, like my own personal Ethel Merman.
She was commissioned by a county museum to create a piece about books. She used a vintage book and then began to take it apart. Drilling through it, slicing out interesting text and images, putting it back together in an accordion fold, that when opened creates the most fascinating scenes as you peer through the “tunnel” into the book. One of my favourite bits of text is the one used in the image above, “A constant source of surprise, was the joy of doing it”.
A resourceful artist and one who does not waste, she stacked the circles that were drilled out of the book on top of each other and screwed in a acrylic holder to make a resting spot for the book when it is closed.
It is a truly charming piece of work and is something that I will be photographing and documenting over on In the Art Cupboard this week, so please come over and take a look!
