Celebrating the highly talented illustrator Cicely Mary Barker (1895-1973) this #SisterhoodSunday. Although very commercial now Barker's meticulous depictions of flowers surely deserve a second look, aligning with PRB attention to detail & the legacy of Victorian Fairy Painting.
There are so many of these wee rascals in my garden just now! Happy #FairyFriday 😀💜🕊

Honeysuckle (woodbine) is the birth flower for June, along with the rose. Twined around the front door it will protect your house from harm, & placed in a vase it will attract money. To Chaucer “wodebyne” symbolised steadfastness in love. #FairytaleTuesday Img: Cicely Barker
