When I lived in London, in my early twenties, I was a regular visitor to the Tate Gallery on Millbank. It's Tate Britain now, but there was only one Tate Gallery in those days. I remember seeing a painting there by the Pre-Raphaelite painter Arthur Hughes. It was called 'April Love' and I thought the colours were stunning. This image is nothing like the painting, but I love this month because sunshine and Forget-me-nots are back. OK, I admit it's a somewhat tenuous link, but the name popped back into my head. :)
This is another porcelain half doll (or pincushion doll), made in Germany in the 1920s. The wooden cotton reels date from the 1950s/60s and the Forget-me-nots are from my garden.

I'm not sure if she is meant to be a Duchess, but she looks like a painting of the Duchess of Devonshire. My collection of half dolls (also known as pincushion dolls or topper dolls) seems to be expanding. This particular doll is about 4¼" high, which makes her one of the largest. She dates from the 1920s and she appealed to me because I think she's been nicely painted.
To the side of the half doll is an antique sewing aid, which would have been attached to a belt. It dates from the 1900s and the Dewhurst's bobbin is probably from the same era. The smaller (Sylko) cotton reel is from the late 1930s-early 1950s. Everything is sitting on antique lace.

“Come along my dears!” Mother called to the children who were squealing and laughing uproariously, lost amidst the joys and delights of their party games. “It’s time for tea! Cupcakes for everyone!”
The theme for "Looking Close… on Friday" for Friday 11th of April is "crazy cupcakes". Now I know you are going to say that this should be a macro shot, and it is. What might surprise you is that everything in this photograph, from the furnishings and wallpaper to the crockery and cupcakes are made up entirely of 1:12 size miniatures from my extensive collection which I use for photography purposes. Anyone who follows my photostream knows that I love and collect 1:12 size miniatures which I photograph in realistic scenes. The artifice of recreating in minute detail items in 1:12 scale always amazes me, and it’s amazing how the eye can be fooled. Every one of these dainty cupcakes topped by dainty flowers, Union Jacks, sprinkles and marzipan rabbits (it is the lead up to Easter after all) and covered cream icing is only five millimetres in diameter and between five and eight millimetres in height! Each one could sit comfortably on the pad of my little finger! Made in England by hand from clay by former chef turned miniature artisan, Frances Knight, her work, like these cupcakes, is incredibly detailed and realistic, and she says that she draws her inspiration from her years as a chef and her imagination. I hope you like my choice for this week’s theme, that the cupcakes are crazy enough, and that they make you smile!
This intersection and anything else that you can see is gone. From the fire hydrant to the buildings this all disappeared during the 1960's.
Just above the doorway on the corner of the building there is one of the old blue porcelain street signs that had white lettering. There are still a few of these around.
This intersection is now where the interchange for I-71 and Columbia Parkway are on Fort Washington Way. Personally, I would rather have the old building than an interstate.
Two handmade, hand painted porcelain heart-shaped buttons. I don't have any Forget-me-nots in my garden at the moment, but I'm sure I'll use these again if they do decide to make an appearance. I've no idea what will turn up in much of my garden each year, but I look forward to finding out. Some of it is left to chance. :)
