the art of tea

After lunch at The Lead Station, Beech Road, Chorlton today, a friend and I headed to The Art of Tea in Didsbury for 'afters' ie coffee and cake :)  Many thanks to Jackie over at Dog Daisy Chains for reminding me about this fab little tea shop on her blog!

A number of hours later, we staggered out with a pile of books each from the second hand bookshop at the back of the cafe :)

I just LoVe the cover of this book/catalogue of Picasso's work :)

And how fabulous is this illustration, just one of many from a Christmas book from the 30s that I just had to have!  An altogether wonderful day :)
