What You See Is What You Get. This is a journal blog, an explore-blog, a bit of this and that blog. Sharing where the mood takes me. Perhaps it will take you too.

Me-Now-Views; Less Speak More Peek

The balance of Banff - or more specifically, Duff House.

Surrounded by gilt...


The Norwegian Flag


Every window had a blissful view


Several of the 'closet' rooms held curio cabinets - here with brass, silver and pewter from India and China


In the glass display cabinet were these exquisite wee bottles; the smaller ones barely more than an inch!

    I'm sure I would be mesmerized by the glass display cabinet.

    I could spend hours in gazing at the beautiful glass cabinet! Duff House is gorgeous! Thx for sharing places I will never be able to visit. 😉

    So much colour and richness but would it have been a comfortable or cosy place to call home? I wonder whether folks of such wealth led a bitterly cold existence at times (in more senses than just the air temperature in their grand salons and living rooms).

    Hi Yam - the Wedgwood fireplace panel just brought back my talk on Stubbs and he way he learnt using the practice of 'ecorche' in sculpting and art-work. It must have been such an interesting visit - love it and your photos - cheers Hilary
