StrangeStore

Here’s the latest picture on StrangeStore, The Box Room, based on the memory of visiting a wonderful edwardian house by the architect Charles Voysey, in Shackleford Surrey, called Norney. A fabulous house in the Arts and Craft style. But it was the amazing attic which still haunts me… How would you like to stumble across this abandoned box room, on the very top floor of some neglected and dusty gothic mansion. Brush aside the cobwebs of ages and find the lost relics of the generations gone. Strange boxes of odd heirlooms, unusually shaped packages and strange, bound stuffed creatures. What lies within the obelisk shaped box. What do the labels reveal? This must be part of Fuschia’s attic. Boxes full of unknown treasures, sent home from far distant continents, never opened, waiting for discovery. What lies within? Dust sprites sparkle in the shifts of light through dusty panes.

Anemones of the sea
Just found this wonderfully surreal image, pulled from a rotting encyclopaedia many years ago and just discovered deep in my plan chest. I love it!
