I’m working on 5 more bookmarks. They are so relaxing and fun. This morning, I took my coffee into the studio and painted a little before I got ready for work. With Memorial Day coming up, the sign shop is insanely busy, so any opportunity do anything calming is a welcome break.
About Lady Dorothy Nevill
Lady Dorothy Nevill, the noted
British gardener, was one of the most celebrated society hostesses of
her day; her salons attracted leading writers, artists, and statesmen.
She was born Dorothy Walpole in 1826 in England. She married a wealthy
cousin with a 23-acre estate, where she pursued her interest in plants.
She built 13 greenhouses and carried on an extensive correspondence with
Charles Darwin. Her memoir, Leaves From the Note-Books of Lady Dorothy Nevill, was published in 1906. She died in 1913.
Have a wonderful Friday and a great weekend. Happy Mother’s Day, too! I’m not a mom, but I know it has to be the hardest job in the world…. and the most rewarding.
