I thought I'd write a post today as it's Mother's Day. Marianne died 27 years ago, but we still remember our mother daily, and are surrounded by many of her lovely things 😍 And after visiting the Alice in Wonderland exhibition at the British Library this week and seeing the beautiful illustrations and memorabilia they had on display, I remembered that she owned one of the items on display - a postage stamp case from 1889. Maybe she bought it from Mr Nash at Jon Ash Rare Books...? I love it - look!
