Black & White fashion

When I did the post about 1950's fashion, I came across many pictures by the eccentric British photographer Norman Parkinson. I had too many photos for that one, so I saved these for a new post.

Curiosity: the model in the middle of the black and of the white pictures is Parkinson's third wife, Wenda Rodgerson. Here she is again, in a very lovely photo:

I could spend a long time here...

This bathroom is very beautiful and there's so much to do! I could see a line forming at the door while I studied the pictures on the wall or read some of the books!

Dealing with annoying people

I came across some wise words and some funny pictures that can be helpful when dealing with people who emanate bad vibes... I think all of us have wasted time and energy trying to accommodate intolerant, stubborn or simply annoying people who won't change. It's funny how we can be very fastidious clearing overflowing cupboards, but we tend to neglect our emotional "cupboards." It's not always possible to distance ourselves completely from difficult people, of course. They may be a relative or a co-worker, but it's ok to click on a mental "ignore" button...
