 First a fashion plate of stomachers? I can not remember the spelling or even if this is the right term. From 1770's Marie Antoinette and Colonial Williamsburg era.

A very Victorian painting of a little girl playing fairy.

Quaint English cottage. Is it tea time yet?

Warm sunny windows, one of my most  favorite places in the world.

I posted this because he is so handsome.
A few photographs and pictures from my collection of ephemera.

Scottish lovers from an old book. So old that all I  kept was  the illustration.

He has a handkerchief in his pocket! Lace collars and bows on little boys, styles sure have changed! As charming as they are I will take t-shirts and easy care knits any day.

Another sweet little one. Another of my favorite things, heirloom sewing. This dress is so beautiful. Hopefully it has survived and is a family treasure.

Just love the little girls expression! and another big big bow. This is Anna Margaret Hewitt and her brother Walter. 1912

Free clip art images from a Victorian 1851 Goody's Lady's Book

    Welcome followers and visitors. I really love your comments. It makes me so happy that you appreciate the pictures and are using them in your art work and crafts.
    Today I carefully copied many many images from this huge collection of magazines "Goody's Lady's Book". This book is 2 1/2" thick and was printed in 1851! Some article titles; The secret of a charming manner,Two ways of keeping a wife and The schoolmaster of Braintree. I am actually going to read some of these. All the pictures are line drawings or engravings with a few being hand colored or painted. If this is your era it is a treasure trove. Perfect for anyone who likes Victoriana period clothing.The fashion plates are instant art and beautifully done. Much love to you all and enjoy the new images, Louise

Morning Glory's, A Frame, Romantic Couple, & Victorian Children for you.

I have missed my blog and all of you so much! Before Thanksgiving I was able to fix some of the problems with my computer. Then just left it for the weekend. So tonight I am getting going again. Yeah!! The next few days there will be  lots of pictures in order  to catch up. As I was looking for new things for today there were so many that I think you will love. The first is from a turn of the century cover of piano music. The other images also came from sheet music books.The frame has holly so it fits in with the holidays.   

So far so good. The first pic's for the day. Much love and welcome back, Louise
