Back with some floorboard finds at Sutton House NT today. Though Iāve seen these items before, I got to spend more time with them. I glimpsed a tiny repair on a slipper and āMiss Bulmerā on a back of an unfinished embroidery. I love learning about what stories these objects tell!



I love this evocative outdoor portrait of Sir Ralph Sadleir (1585/86-1660), with his falcon and - is that a tuft of flyaway hair tousled by the breeze?! Date c.1615-25, Sutton House NT.
