The description on the poster is Arthur Rackham (1867-1939) The fairies are exquisite dancers, signed and dated 1906, pen ink and watercolour. Illustrated: J. M. Barrie, Peter Pan in Kensington Gardens. <br />Hugs Barbara.<br />Barbarahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05962552429792516213noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4496559191887463909.post-2037238771026227332015-03-26T10:41:50.225+00:002015-03-26T10:41:50.225+00:00This love for all things vintage is mutual :)

I too love antique shops, book shops, and vintage fairs and understand exactly how you feel. I have to admit to feeling a little daunted by some of the ‘smarter’ antique shops, but I still find myself wandering around them even though I know I will never buy anything.<br />Thank you for coming over to see me today.

The Saucepan Man, Mr.Watzisname (who was actually called Kollamoolitumarellipawkyrollo!) and Dame Washalot for starters! <br /><br />I could be persuaded to swap jobs, but only if you agreed to pass your writing talent over to me.
