June Birthstone and Flowers ~ Free Digital Antique Postcards & Photographs Featuring Pearls, Roses and Honeysuckle.

 Hi everyone!  Welcome to you and the month of June!  

Another month in 2021 that has snuck up on me. There are two birth flowers for June.  Honeysuckle and rose are both listed for birthdays in June. There are also two birthstones. The pearl is the traditional "birthstone". The modern birthstone is alexandrite. All so pretty. When I graduated from school my grandmother gave me a ring with an alexandrite(imitation). I have always cherished it.  Happy birthday to everyone one born this month!

April Birthstone and Flower ~ Diamonds and Daisies ~ Antique Button Card~ Postcards

Hello and welcome! 

Already the start of a new month after March went by so quickly. I am pleased to be posting the month's birthstone and flower pictures on time! Finding pictures of daisys is fairly easy because there are lots of antique postcards that feature daisies. In my collection of printer's chapter headings and tail pieces there are plenty that feature daisies.  Still looking around for pictures of diamonds. A separate post is coming that features sweet peas. The United Kingdom birth or month's flower is the daisy while in the United States it is sweet peas. Hope you can use these pretty images in your journals and greeting card creations.

Much love to all of you, Louise

September Sapphire Birthstone and Flowers, Artist Marjorie Mostyn Gem Postcard

Welcome to everyone and welcome to September! Another month in a very odd year. Does it feel like the beginnings of fall where you live? The nights are a bit cooler now. It does feel like fall is around the corner.

The morning glory and asters are the flowers for September.

Sapphire is the birthstone for this month. This picture is by Marjorie Mostyn.  One of the pretty cards I found on TuckDB postcards. 

Thank you for your comments.

Daisy - The Birth Flower For The Month of April- Free Daisy Images and Art

Hi everyone and welcome!

It is the start of a new month. The first image I have for you is a calendar page done by the artist Eugene Grasset. 

 I have wanted to do a post featuring daises for awhile. There are tons of pictures, graphics and paintings featuring daises. When I found out that the daisy was the birth flower for April it was the perfect time to share those images.

The daisy is a symbol or motif  used by P.E.O., an organisation that my mom belonged to. As a little girl I wondered what the initials stood for and what the ladies were up to. I just had to find out more! I snooped and one day found a box in mom's closet that contained P.E.O. things! Before I could really see much of the contents my mom walked in! Today all one has to do is go to their website to learn about P.E.O.

Another connection to daises is through the Girl Scouts. I loved being a scout and in collage I was a Browne troop leader. The founder of the Girl Scouts, Juliet Gordon Low was nicknamed "Daisy" by her family. The troop for the youngest girl scouts is the Daises. This is the beautiful portrait done Edward Hughes of Juliet Gordon Lowe in 1887. 

Wikipedia had these fun facts; The flower name comes from the English word dægeseage, meaning "day's eye."^[1] The name Daisy is therefore ultimately derived from this source -- a synonym for the Sun. Daisy is also a nickname for Margaret, used because Marguerite, the Frenchversion of that name, is also a French name for the oxeye daisy

This is a favorite of mine.

This could be used for a wedding invitation or menu.

A turn of the century greeting card.

Thought this would make a nice place card for your next luncheon or wedding.
