A couple of years ago, I poked a bit of fun at this Eloise Wilkin illustration:
But I don't think I showed you how very closely life imitates art here at the cottage:
[Many thanks to Marie for posing--this picture took about ten shots to attain!]

That expression is pricelessly accurate! I ADORE that book, but have always found that particular illustration a bit off-putting.

Haha! Your child doesn't look at all vacant, while the poor illustration girl just isn't home.

I wrote a comment but it was caught twice by the spam filter for some reason! Maybe I comment too often ;-)
Marie is so incredibly beautiful, I've always thought so (as are all your children of course:-)). And here she's almost captured the look of the picture, although with a touch of mischief in the eyes - I reckon she must have quite a fun spirit!

What a charming photo of beautiful Marie!

I am a huge Eloise Wilkin fan! The adult's hands on the real picture are much younger looking and smoother than the illustration. Must be the Palmolive!
