Here's the second (and last) installment of the Antarctic Voyage drawings! I'm assuming these are bits of seaweed and ocean plants found along the way - but I gotta be honest, I was too overwhelmed with all the illustrations and didn't even try to investigate and learn what each thing is. And, well - I don't read latin, so that's also a problem. But, they're easy on the eyes, so that's fine enough for me!!

I have around 50 more flower/fern illustrations that came from a turn of the century 12 volume periodical...... It got to the point where I had to stop saving images because there were just too many. I'll have to wait a few weeks to post them so that no one gets too tired of the same 'ol things! For now, I'm off to take some photos before Alice and I go to Harvard Square and drink bubble tea and eat cupcakes and buy things at the stationary store. But check my etsy shop later tonight - I think I have 5 nice cotton house dresses to part with and they need good homes - oh and maybe a few blouses here and there too!
** I was hoping to get the listings up tonight but I woke up too early this morning and my brain has stopped working now! In case anyone is wondering - the dresses are in the Medium/Large range and I will try my very hardest to get them up tomorrow night. Once the work week rolls around I usually end up a zombie - but I'll try my best!

wow, those are so pretty! thanks for sharing them :)
xD amazing - what a glorious adventure it must have been >w<
This is my favourite one so far. I just love aquatic plants. I could sit and stare at rock pools for hours on end!
I'll definitely be checking out the etsy!! Please come to see my new blog! I'd love your feedback + tips!

One lovely thing about not reading blogs for a while is to see everything that has gone on since then. I was just wondering after reading your last post where you work? because I have made up several ideas to your line of work that include working at a used book store, at a studio, as a florist or as a veterinarian.
Do let me know because I'd be interested to see what an interesting person does.
thanks everyone!! I was scared people would stop looking at this thing due to all the similar book updates!
verbosity to me: i'll definitely stop by! although, I don't know what kind of helpful feedback/tips I can offer because I'm not entirely sure I know what I'm doing half the time!
magnolia: my job isn't half as nice as any of those things you mentioned! but, I work at a digital archiving lab. we work with lots of dusty old out of print books - some have pretty pictures and some just have boring text and lately libraries have been sending us a lot of books with flowers in them!!
very pretty plants, i love seaweed! not bored at all
my favourite edition of "what genus are you" so far!
So pretty. Oh how they make me happy.
you have such a wonderful blog :) i have given you a cute little award, if you look at my blog you shall find it there :)

Thank-you for this lovely post. x
Very pretty!
i saw you in urban outfitters yesterday but i'm a terribly shy person and felt silly saying "oh i read your blog!" so i will say it here instead <3 i love your blog quite a lot. and the hat you were trying on was cute - i hope you bought it. (sorry for being creepy)
those are definitely illustrations of sea plants. i used to work in an antique store where we sold similar ones with similar drawings, a lot of coral. there are a lot of reproduction ones out there now but they don't have the same charm as the ones you found!
It's tough to choose, but I think this one has been my favorite of the series! All those impossible pinks are really something else! (PS, I tagged you over on my little ol' blog, if you're into that sort of thing!)
Those are just so beautiful! I've never seen old sketches of seaweed before, glad I have now :)
They are so beautiful, I love the mix of colours!
I just love the simplicity of these prints.
Wow. You have such a lovely blog! I love all the pretty flowers and floraly things. Beautiful =].
Sweet post, I love the dresses with the Inspiration prints....
