This week we’re up for a link (or two or three… :-))
#1:

I’ve added a new post

#2:

idea is that Vermeer’s work might be something like 350 year old photographs! Here’s

If you happen to like BBC P&P ’95, the P&P ’95
Forever Club is working up to 100 members—with a special possible bonus for the

might like to check it out! Here’s the link for that: pandp95forever.blogspot.com
The article about Vermeer was INCREDIBLE!!! I was absolutely blown away by that man's discovery. (I read and enjoyed this post when you first wrote it, but haven't gotten around to telling you so until now!)
ReplyDeleteVictoria, I so agree. Wasn't it amazing??? And thanks so much for coming back to comment -- I really appreciated it!
DeleteBtw (not to put you in suspense or anything ;-)), but I finished The Princess and the Prince while traveling and I'm hoping to do a review soon. :-)
