On my bedside table

Without further ado, Mr Charley Harper.

We are currently having a Charley Harper festival, with nesting blocks for Hazel, and a big jigsaw for Leo.

If you do not have this hefty book, hot foot it over to The Book Depository, and grab a beautiful big copy. It is joy on paper.


425 pages.

Mosaic brilliance!

More mosaic. Federal Building Cincinnati 1964.

'Mystery of the missing migrants' 1990

Posters for National Parks, which Charley was very passionate about.

Celebrated and out of print. 1961!

I too am loving Mr Harper!
I have some vintage encyclopedia's with his illustrations throughout.
I must get me this book, mustn't I. It really is a need.
I hope you & you're family are well & happy.

Love him. I desperately want to buy the embroidery kits from Purl Bee that feature his birds!
