♥ Sunday Best ♥ #45


I'd love to sit at this table.

Bagpiper Gilbert Kerr, member of the Scottish National Antarctic Expedition, was photographed serenading an indifferent penguin in 1904 - priceless!

Do I really need to tell you how charming is this room?

These bubble gardens in the streets of Paris are such an amazing idea! Designer Amaury Gallon created each bubble with a unique environmental inspiration. One hosts a jungle, while another garden features hundreds of orchids woven into the metal structure that frames the transparent igloo-shaped rooms. Well done!

Enter the herb closet!


Check this out! One of Leonardo da Vinci's many notebooks, this one diagramming a potter's wheel (c. 1508-1509) and all written backwards! I am really fascinated at his mirror writing.

Sorry but this is actually quite funny. English readers, don't take it too seriously, please! I know the referendum is coming. Chill.

So many gorgeous outfits in this film. The allure of foxy ladies and 1930s glamour!

  4. Um post muito interessante! Adorei o herb closet, aquela mesa posta, não pela mesa mas pelo romantismo da casa, e aquela foto do pinguim é fantástica; não liga "pevas"...:-)
    Frankie Boyle tem sentido de humor!

  11. Thak you for your comments, I stayed in a little street right by the MACBA (Barcelona Museum of Contemporary Art). I didn't manage to quite explore the Barrio Gotico, only went to the Picasso museum (!!!!).
    ps;what is the name of movie you have stills of in the very last 2 pictures? I adore the vibe they give off :)

  13. Haha, poor English, I can say that thought isn't common place between all the Scots..

    I love the piper too, Edinburgh Zoo got Panda's and they played the bag pipes to try and encourage them to breed- this obviously worked well..

  14. The Bubble Garden is so fascinating. Also the pictures on the bottom. . I've had that movie on my to-watch list for a long time now and really need to read it.
