Walter Potter and a sad story of a sofa

Kitten wedding

I'm so excited that the taxidermy creations of Walter Potter are going to be exhibited at the Museum Of Everything. I've been a fan for ages but have never seen any of the work in person. I plan to go and check it out on Saturday. I can't wait to see those beady-eyed and badly stuffed creatures.

Today I also saw a lovely 50's sofa on Ebay, with the sad description that it had never had it's plastic wrapping taken off since being bought new, in the 50's. I love that the old man who owned it, cared for it so much that he never really let himself enjoy it to the full. He preserved the precious thing. He put the sofa first.
