erastesBagged a bargain today, went down into Norwich today, (which I loathe) and got a massive bookcase for £15 – this is it.
(this is from the advert, not my house, as as soon as I get it into situ, it will be stuffed with books) Plus my house isn’t so tidy!!! It needs sanding down and tinting but it’s a bookcase!
I’m planning to put it where the upstairs hall banister is, which is one of those horrid 1970’s things with two wooden planks, and I can keep all my gay fiction is one place. I shall start scouring the cheapo ads and junk shops for more.
OK – running off now to watch Desperate Romantics. Millais, Rossetti, Ruskin… YUM!

Date: 2009-07-21 09:21 pm (UTC)I was lucky enough to see Waking Dreams: THE ART OF THE PRE-RAPHAELITES FROM THE DELAWARE ART MUSEUM (http://www.stlouis.art.museum/index.aspx?id=121&exh=48) four years ago. To finally see such famous images for real was incredible. I was stunned at how 'modern' Frederick Sandys' depiction of Mary Magdalene looked.
