Children's Bedtime Stories :)

Once upon a time there was a family of six bears. There was Daddy Bear, Mummy Bear, Blue Bear, Big Bear, Clever Bear and Completely Bear. They lived in a forest that didn't have any trees.....

Here are my reasons to love black cats!!!

1. They’re always fashionable. Their black coats will never go out of style.
2. Black cats always look regal, sophisticated, shiny and sleek.
3. You can give them exotic names like Panther,Shadow.
4. They’ll impress your houseguests. Dirt is camouflaged so they always look clean and they’ll never look out of sync with any home décor.
5. You won’t need to spend a penny on a Halloween costume. Boo!
6. Black cats are terrific at playing a competitive game of hide and seek.
7.They are soft
8.They are our best friends

Our New Family Member ) Mona and Lisa

Hello to all....
I love black cats. 

They're often overlooked at shelters just because they're black.
But black cats are beautiful, amazing, gorgeous creatures.

Today, I want you to meet Mona and Lisa.

If the Impressionists had been dentists by Woody Allen, 1978

Dear Theo 
Will life never treat me decently? I am wracked by despair! My head is pounding. Mrs Sol Schwimmer is suing me because I made her bridge as I felt it and not to fit her ridiculous mouth. That's right! I can't work to order like a common tradesman. I decided her bridge should be enormous and billowing and wild, explosive teeth flaring up in every direction like fire! Now she is upset becuase it won't fit in her mouth! She is so bourgeois and stupid, I want to smash her. I tried forcing the false plate in but it sticks out like a star burst chandelier. Still, I find it beautiful. She claims she can't chew! What do I care whether she can chew or not! Theo, I can't go on like this much longer! I asked Cezanne if he would share an office with me but he is old and infirm and unable to hold the instruments and they must be tied to his wrists but then he lacks accuracy and once inside a mouth, he knocks out more teeth than he saves. What to do?

FROM THE ARCHIVES: THE HISTORY OF THE METAL PAINT TUBE

The Winsor & Newton Paint Tube 1840-1911

The metal paint tube was first invented by American oil painter John Goffe Rand as a way of transporting paints to use outside. The tubes were in fact syringes which were used to squeeze out paint and preserved the paint for a longer time, allowing artists increased flexibility and the possibility of a larger palette as colours took longer to perish.
Upon hearing of this stunning innovation William Winsor immediately sought the patent as Winsor & Newton were the only colourmen producing moist water colour. Once the patent was secured, William Winsor added one essential improvement to this design: the all-important screw cap. Thusly, the paint tube we know and love was born.
In the photo above, you can track the journey from the traditional bladders to the introduction of the syringe tube in 1840 to the Tube Cap introduced in 1904.  http://www.winsornewton.com/
