STONY BROOK, N.Y. - When Jane Peterson (1876-1965) graduated from Elgin High School in Illinois in 1894 she had already identified a course of study and had a notion of a career. In 1893, she took aptitude tests at the Columbian Exposition in Chicago that pointed in an artistic direction. While there, Peterson would have seen the then avant-garde paintings by American Impressionists, including Childe Hassam and Edmund Tarbell. Most persuasive, however, were the exhibits at the Woman's Building, which featured women's fine arts, crafts and industrial products in a Hall of Honor.
The Louisiana Purchase Exposition (informally known as the St. Louis World's Fair) was the event of the century.

The last weekend of March is reserved for one of the biggest antique fairs of Japan, the 52th Antique Grand Fair. It takes place at Pulse Plaza, near Takeda subway station in Kyoto, where free shuttles drive on and off to get all the visitors to the fair grounds. It was marvelous, exquisite and absolutely amazing! An antiques enthusiast myself, I didn't know what to look at first. Almost all of the stalls had Japanese antiques and curiosities to sell, some had Western goods, and some sold handmade items. Tourists and professionals alike queued up from 9 o'clock and at 10 rushed to the market stalls to get the best buy's first. Bargaining is a must. At one point a lady seller even told me she would take the price down, even before I showed interest in a particular item! This doesn't mean the antiques sold are bargains. 'Au contraire', most stalls sell items in perfect, or near perfect state, so be sure to stop at your ATM first. :) My treasure of the day is the bunny above, 'usagi' in Japanese. It is a traditional incense box used for tea ceremonies, by famous ceramics artist 'Rakusai'. Being from the year of the bunny, I always have a soft spot for everything to do with bunnies. In Japan, it is said bunnies work like good luck charms and so it's custom to pay more for anything depicting a bunny. A strange but funny custom, but I think got a very good bargain on this bunny at least. The Market starts at 10:00, and again, get there early! You can easily spend 5 to 6 hours, if you like to take your time. Keep in mind, from 14:00 o'clock on (Friday at least) there are long queue's of antique fans waiting for the shuttle back. Otherwise, be smart and just walk. It's only 20 minutes to Takeda station. The 53th Antique Grand Fair in Kyoto is on June 22th, 23th and 24th, also at Pulse Plaza. And there's also one in October, 5th, 6th and 7th.
source I have been searching on-line for images of the beautiful dance performances of the Royal Ballet and their interpretations of the Beatrix Potter stories. I love the poses of the dancers, frozen in time and the costume designs are wonderful. This inspiration has helped me in creating these two ladies. Two little deer fairy dolls in ballet poses, larger in size to the fairy folk currently listed in my etsy shop. This is Fallow - She is dressed in antique lace and trims and I used the stained lining from an old beaded bag for her bodice, to give an aged effect to the finished doll. This is Dancer. She is dressed in hand embroidered crepe, salvaged from a c1920's bedspread. All the other fabrics and additions have a lot of age to them, as I was keen for these girls to have an antique style. They will stand if supported slightly, or they will hang from a thread loop. I shall be listing these in my etsy shop soon. I've also been making over this little jewellery box charity shop buy. I stripped out all of the inside hooks and trays and then gave it a couple of coats of paint. The inside was lined in a selection of papers. I'd like to make a fairy doll the right size to fit inside for display. Have a great day, Niki x
