  1. Dear Stephanie
    Please enter me for your lovely giveaway – Burne-Jones and Waterhouse images, yes please! I have been immersing myself in the Pre-Raphaelites recently – buying various books and a wombat, so that I can occasionally join in with Wombat Friday. I have just finished the book ‘A Profound Secret’ by Josceline Dimbleby about her family, the Gaskells, and the relationship between May Gaskell and Edward Burne-Jones. The book then follows May’s daughters, Amy and Daphne, concentrating on Amy who had her portrait painted by Burne-Jones when she was 19 and it is a haunting image. The whole of her story was fascinating and this book kept me gripped. Amy still remains enigmatic to the end. Sorry, this wasn’t supposed to be such an essay – I think the Pre-Raphaelites have become a bit of an obsession…
    Best wishes

  10. I use journals like this at work to jot down jobs to do, things to remember etc. Having a Pre-Raphaelite painting or similar on the front allows me to dream sometimes when it all gets too much!

  25. Willows whiten, aspens quiver,
    Little breezes dusk and shiver
    Thro’ the wave that runs forever
    By the island in the river
    Flowing down to Camelot.
    Four grey walls, and for grey towers,
    Overlook a space of flowers,
    And the silent isle imbowers
    The Lady of Shallot.

  26. These are very bonny indeed. Maybe if I owned notebooks this lovely, I would be more inclined to get my finger out and write down my creative inspirations instead of trying to store them all in my head! (hint, hint, hint…) ;p

  27. I would like to win these as a gift for my daughter who has a passion for all things Pre-Raphaelite, especially Burne-Jones, Millais & Waterhouse. The Lady of Shalott is one of her favourite paintings. We went to see the Pre-Raphaelite exhibition at Birmingham Museum last year, it was just amazing.
