Visited the #BeatrixPotter exhibition in Birnam today. They had this rather nice #dollshouse. It was made by Deborah Bell, a member of the Embroidery Guild in Dunkeld.

Beatrix Potter, the unlikely hero of the anti-hustle culture movement [Shared]

Welcome to critterposting, the very cute, very cottagecore, and (somewhat) radical antidote to American life.

Ed Brims: “I spent a lot of the summer of 2016 reading #BeatrixPotter to my 2-year-old, and I became obsessed with trying to work out if the recurring characters all exist in the same universe.”

Home to Beatrix Potter, and where the inspiration for some of her book's settings.

1. Excellent use of funds, Beatrix!

2. I didn't know sheep could be measured in acres

The main chamber of Cathedral Quarry with its 40-foot pillar and a #photobombing dog for scale.
Cathedral Quarry (aka Cathedral Cave) is part of the Little Langdale Quarries system and was mined for slate until the 1950s. #BeatrixPotter bought the site in 1929 and later gifted it to the National Trust.

"Peter Rabbit Sledging," Beatrix Potter, 1907.

Potter (1866-1943) was a fascinating woman who's finally getting some recognition. Known for years as a children's author and illustrator, she was also a scientist and conservationist. Although she wasn't recognized for it at the time (largely because of her sex), she was the first person to realize that fungi are germinated by spores, not by symbiosis, as was believed. As her fortune grew from her book sales, she became a leader in conserving the landscape of England's Lake District.

She was also a canny businesswoman, being the first to license a literary character (Peter Rabbit) to be a stuffed toy.

This image seems to have been an early Christmas card by Potter, before she published her works. She observed real animals closely to get as many details right as she could (aside from, y'know, her animals being very anthropomorphized).

From a private collection.

Hi! I'm new to mastodon and the fediverse (my boyfriend introduced me here a few months ago), so this is my #introduction post!

I'm Erika, I live in Italy and I love creating #NeedleFelting creatures and miniature worlds inspired by books from my childhood

For example, I absolutely love #BeatrixPotter and #JillBarklem, but there are so many artists that I like!
I knew a lot of them on IG, and hope to know a lot more here!

Tell me… what is your favorite children book?
