I agree with you that maps are lovely. My brother-in-law used to collect antique prints and maps, until they became prohibitively expensive. Some of them are truly beautiful. Take care, Canadian Chickadee
Thanks Carol, I think if I ever had that imaginary mansion where one could keep all the treasures one would like to display I would have a whole room with antique maps on the walls and a big map cabinet. When we lived in a big old Victorian house we had a map cabinet and it broke my heart when it had to go because of downsizing but it was bigger than the room I am now in so it's a good job common sense prevailed.
You may have heard of Project 365 in whic people post a photograph every day for a year. This is my version – the idea is to post a photo taken every day but I am realistic enough to know that there will be a day or two missed during the year.

ReplyDeleteI'm sorry your map cabinet had to go. Sometimes common sense has a lot to answer for!
