One of my favorite finds in London was this charming Woodland Old Maid card game.
The characters have names like Betty Bun, Pinny Needlekin, Hetty Hoot and Wigwags Bobble...
Izaak Finny, Tabitha Tabbitail, Millicent Littlemouse and ~ my personal favorite, the demure and beautifully dressed ~ Bridgit Croak
I also found this wonderful book by H.A Rankin: Simple Lessons in Colour
Each lesson is 2 pages; first page of intruction begins with "To Paint a......" and a description of the desired color and object...
And on the facing page...a painting!

Both the cards and the book are wonderful. I love the illustrations!
How sweet! What are you going to do with the cards--something crafty perhaps?
The artwork in the book looks so much more contemporary than the cover! The cards remind me of Australian animals. Fun!
Great finds. So much charm!

I love that watering can!
I adore the cards. It reminds me of the wonderful things a friend of my Mother's use to send to us when we were children.
Brings back memories and what a wonderful book, as an artist I can truly appreciate!
