Friday, April 11, 2014. Friday Flowers: Cornelis van Spaendonck - Still Life with Flowers, 1789. And a wonderful surprise. Still Life with Flowers, 1789 by Cornelis van Spaendonck. Anyone who's read my post A Passion for Porcelain. Knows about my love for Sevres Porcelain and will understand my delight in discovering that the artist, Cornelis van Spaendonck. was also the head of the porcelain works there from 1785 to 1800. No wonder I was drawn to this image! A wonderful bouquet to greet the weekend.

Wednesday, November 14, 2012. Reluctant Renovator: And so it Begins. I love good renovation stories. I love how they seduce me with their whispered promises, endless energy, optimism and, of course, their humour. Those were the first words that I wrote on this blog ( Renaissance Daze/Days. And they still hold true; I do love good renovation stories! Perhaps it's all my experience managing IT projects. I would like to believe that my story will be mostly sweetness and light. Then again, how bad can it be?

Renaissance Daze: The King's Trip: George VI visits Oba, Ontario
https://renaissancedaze.blogspot.com/2012/07/kings-trip-george-vi-visits-oba-ontario.html
Thursday, July 12, 2012. The King's Trip: George VI visits Oba, Ontario. My family is rich in photo albums. This wealth is the result of generations of avid, amateur photographers eagerly capturing the moments, preserving them and passing them down through various branches of the family. Though we've begun the process of digitizing our treasures, the backlog is more than a bit daunting especially when it comes to identifying some of those smiling faces from times gone by. Queen Elizabeth, The Queen Mother.

I was wondering why she was reading a children’s book. I didn’t see the title page, didn’t catch its name. But I could see, peering down on her as I stood holding on to the pole in the subway, snooping, something in big, kid-friendly type, about frogs. She seemed engrossed; was reading intently. 8220;Would you like to take this seat? 8221; she asked me.

Thursday, August 2, 2012. Step by Step: Walking to Mordor Challenge. I often daydream as I walk; my mind wandering farther and faster than my feet could ever go. Given that I'm an avid.
