Thank you so much for the link to Carl Larsson's art work. I love homely family scenes. They are delightful! I wonder if it is possible to obtain art cards of his work? Now you have me on the search for tulips for the house, Cornflower! They are one of my favourite flowers and I always plant at least one new variety every fall. Unfortunately, after a few years, they seem to disappear and all that is left are a few leaves. Never mind, I enjoy them when they bloom and the fact that I can purchase a few blooms early and enjoy them is just a bonus!

Thank you for the link to the BBC HOME site Karen - of course it led me on and on ...

Thanks for this information. I thought that there was something vaguely familiar about the painting. Now I know why. Several moons ago I had a calendar featuring Carl Larsson's work. It did not include the 'Reading Room' but it did include 'Flowers on the windowsill'. I think that the latter illustration was what initially drew me to the claendar as I am a keen gardener. It gave me great pleasure for twelve months.

What a delight it's been to wander back through your notes and queries. There is plenty that I should be doing this rainy Saturday morning, including a blog post of my own, but it's been a pleasure to spend it here with you.
