Down Northumberland Street, Newcastle: Beatrix Potter Exhibit

The annual Beatrix Potter exhibit is now up and celebrating 150 years of Beatrix Potter...

 The holly tree near the bus stop...

 Through a shop window near Newcastle University; a children's literature exhibit... And then on Northumberland Street for the annual Christmas Beatrix Potter exhibit...

 The roots of the fir tree...

 Peter Rabbit...

 Mr. Jeremy Fisher on the lily-pad...

 "IN the time of swords and periwigs and full-skirted coats with flowered lappets—when gentlemen wore ruffles, and gold-laced waistcoats of paduasoy and taffeta—there lived a tailor in Gloucester."

 "There were roses and pansies upon the facings of the coat; and the waistcoat was worked with poppies and corn-flowers."

"The stitches of those buttonholes were so small—so small—they looked as if they had been made by little mice!"
