Little Girls and their dogs,a Saint Bernard,Pug Borzoi Dachund. Victorian Paintings and tinted photograph. Free clip art.

     Aside from not getting the things done that need to be done I had a fun day. My three sisters and I are planning my moms 80th birthday party for next March. It has been so much fun talking and brain storming. We all bring something different to the table and so far it has been a blast.Margie,Cathy and Lynn all live close to each other in So.Cal. So I am the out of town'er. Lynn is in charge of decorating and called me long distance so we "shopped" together on her cell phone. Cathy is so fun and is coming up with so many ideas. She keeps things moving which I need! My contribution is to make a special family gift full of memorable events in my mom's life.

Just in the itty bitty chance my mom reads this I will always refer to it  as "the project". When it is done I will reveal it to all of you. There is no way this project and its progress could not be mentioned on my blog.  Thought you should be warned:)! 

    Oh my gosh. I need to find pictures of birthday parties!  Something new to search for!

Now some images for dog lovers. That's an easy and appropriate theme to follow the cat post! The pictures feature Saint Bernards, Dachshund Borzoi and  Pug breeds. One breed I don't recognise.

Thanks for visiting and following my little blog.

Much love to you all, Louise!

Amazing Little girls from antique French postcards. The best photographs some tinted

What does someone do with a huge batch of antique french postcard? The only thing possible is to share them with all of you! 

This first group are of the most beautiful and adorable little girls. Some of their clothes are just incredible with lots of lace and eyelet. Some of my favorite things!  The use of the images are free for your use. Please mention bumble button if you do. That way other artists can find their way here. Your comments are my inspiration and motivation.

Enjoy creating. Much love to each and everyone of you, Louise

Images for clip art Little girl putting hat on dog,1700's clothing,Painted photographs, Turn of the century romantic couple

Hi everyone, hope all my visitors and followers are happy as can be. It was so nice to have the sunlight coming in my window this afternoon. My cold and cough  are hanging on way to long. I can't remember ever having something for almost a month. Much better than before but not 100% yet.

  lululiz in lalaland  has the cutest little match boxes. They have been decorated in fun creative ways. I love little things, they are right up my alley. And they had buttons in them! I want one too!

Today there are 9 new pictures for you. Most are from antique or vintage postcards.

This just appeals to me. Of course there is a sleigh and I always like lots of contrast between the figure and the light snowy background. I would guess she is a lady of the late 1700's based on her dress.

This picture really evokes a pleasant spring day to me.

Another romantic picture with contrast. Early 1900's.

A day at the races.

To to cute!

Flowers for the day. Love these pretty tulips.

A couple of little darlings.

Oh you all make my day! It is still so fun to post images for you. Enjoy the creating. Much love, Louise



Lovely Victorian ladys, Christmas Angel and Santa and much more for your beautiful art work

Welcome. Today I have posted a variety of images. Something for everyone. All the clip art images are free for your use.

A Christmas angel and jolly Santa to start the day .

I had to include this puppy dog and black kitty.A vintage die cut for scrap booking. Perfect for a gift card.

This is a very exotic fan.

This lovely lady is from a Goody's lady book which was published in 1851. I have two of these books and they have hundreds of truly Victorian images.

This is a favorite picture. I have had it for many years but do not know the artist.

And finally an interesting frame. From the back of a cabinet photograph notice the camera on top.

Now it is  time to go to bed!

 Enjoy Louise

A new batch to start the weekend

Welcome to all of you! The pic's in this post are so charming. Remember what I said about cleaning off my dining room table? It is now blog central. Piles of antique books and photographs waiting to be scanned. I am so impatient and want to list all of them now. Just have to pace myself or this will be the only thing I do! On to the images of the day; Be sure to click the pictures  for a larger image and then copy.

The cutest baby. what an expression. I think he is just darling.

Staying cozy inside on a winters day. Turn of the century mother and her dear daughter who is holding her little doll look warm and toasty..

This flourish is from 1915

Sweet children! Luella,Tom and Arnold Cannon

Remember sitting in your mothers lap like this.  

 I love this picture! My grandmother Nana playing the piano with my aunt Annette. The cute scotty dog is named Tuppence.

This is from a silver brochure.

Lovely 1920's Bride. This is unmarked probably one of my Nana's many friends.

Is this precious or what. Depression era little boy.
