A quiet, gentle scene to start our week off right. I’ll be offline for a few days, but I hope this week goes well for you. I’ll reply to your really kind notes this week, too. Sorry about the delay, guys. Hugs to you all 💚❄️

Maria Sibylla Merian (1647-1717) was a gifted polymath: she was a naturalist, botanist, entomologist, & scientific author/artist. She was one of the first people to ever study insects closely. She studied the life cycles of over 200 species in South America #WyrdWednesday
‘Kindred spirits are not so scarce as I used to think. It's splendid to find out there are so many of them in the world.’
—LM Montgomery
Anton Pieck’s (1895-1987) winter works were always rich with fascinating details, & glimpses of joy frozen in their Dutch, historical moment ⛄️
Sending you off a bit early with one of my favourite fireside scenes —by the great Astrid Sheckels. I hope you have a relaxing & cozy evening, my friends 💛❄️✨
Some of the great Kate Greenaway’s (1846-1901) calendars for February. Her work was immensely popular in her day, & she loved revisiting the C18th in her influential style 🍃
The epitome of coziness for your day 🧡📚
