Invisible Tilly in a Gallery.......

Went to The Shell House Gallery in Ledbury, near Hereford HERE this week to see an exhibition by Nicky Arscott NICKY , who went to college with our youngest daughter and had done a painting of her when she was pregnant with Tilly. So, of course, we had to see it.

The painting, with Tilly -

 
The painting, with Rosie -

 
I thought Nicky's work was excellent. This one was featured in Tatler recently -

 
No visit to Ledbury complete without calling in to Hus and Hem HERE - I love their candle displays -
 

 
Took advantage of the 20% off day sale at White Stuff this week and bought this top and cardigan -
 
 
Not to be outdone, here's Tilly wearing her Stella McCartney romper suit!!  (a present from friend who worked in her London shop) -
 
 
Have a good week!

    Clever artist - I love the tranquillity of the horse painting. Like your new top and cardigan. Tilly looks very sweet!

    Oh, Abby, what a beautiful painting of your daughter! Lovely idea to take a photo of Tilly with the painting of her when she was still just a "bump". She will really enjoy looking at that photo for years to come, point at the "bump" and say "that's me". :-)

    Oh, and there is a shop I would feel quite at home in, I think... And seeing the candles, I can't help but smile. I go through candles like there is no tomorrow and could certainly do with a stock like that! ;-)

    Thank you for all your lovely comments on my blog - they brighten my days!

    Another great reason to sort out a trip to Ledbury! I'll have to go soon, I'd really like to see the exhibition - what a special portrait of your daughter. Look forward to popping into Hus and Hem too, looks fabulous and right up my street :)

    Love Tilly's designer romper! x

    Just returned from a brief visit to your neck of the woods but missed out Ledbury this time. What a shame....that shop looks great.
    Next time!

    What a talented artist and what a good idea to take a photo of Tilly next to the painting of your daughter. The shop looks wonderful and I love your new clothes:)

    I just love both those paintings and your daughter is so lucky to have had that one done of her. That will become a family heirloom too. Wow, Tilly is starting young wearing designer outfits!

      Thanks, Ruth. I doubt the painting will become a family heirloom - it costs £750! X

    fab paintings...how wonderful to be pictured at that time in her life too...I always fancied being painted by Lucien Freud but that'snot going to happen now.....no it's not a picture of Mum, it'sGrace Kelly from To Catch A Thief....but that'll make her year I should think!!
