British Butterflies ~ Victorian Book of Beautiful Butterflies Illustrations

 Hi everyone and welcome!

The night is so quiet and peaceful. No wind, No traffic, Just calm before the day begins. Time for rich strong coffee and staying under the cozy blankets a bit longer.  As always my cats think I am their personal warm bed. One on my lap the other by my feet. They definitely think we should stay in bed longer!

 Then I contemplate the day ahead. Do I stay away from the news? Does it really matter at this point? I get curious most days,wondering what new craziness has transpired while I was peacefully asleep. Often reading the headlines tells me enough. I always want my blog to be a positive, sharing, and giving experience for all. It is just a little harder this morning to get going.

 So on to my files and folders to find something pretty and useful. Looking for images that will inspire and spark some creativity these were perfect! So happy these lovely butterflies were in my files.

Sweet Pictures from "Baby's Rhyme Book" Little Girls, Butterflies, Flowers

 Welcome to all of you. The days of isolation pass and I am more comfortable with the quiet. I need to find peace and serenity away from the news. I encourage those who can to take a break and find as much beauty and solace in creative endeavors. Getting lost in all the thousands of graphics stored on my computer is so satisfying. But I need to share them with you! Enjoy them. Print and use them in something you are making. These charming little ladies look very happy to be outdoors.

Free Ephemera of Easter Chicks from Antique Postcards


Hi Everyone!
Thursday at the Legacy was as fun as ever. There was a nice batch of buttons waiting to be sorted. Marie took home lots of them to be sewn on the button cards.  We now have more cards done then will fit in our button section. It is time to find a better location and display in the store.
Last Wednesday I learned about decorating sugar eggs! Mine turned out quite colorful and very much a first timer's egg. Hope I can take the class next year.
Today I have images of sweet little chicks for you. They are all antique Tuck Easter postcards circa 1900. I imagine them in your scrap books amongst the photographs of your family and friends celebrating Easter.  
Much love to each of you, Louise

The post cards are from TuckDB

Beautiful Victorian Butterflies More Free Clip art for Artists and Crafters

A temporary lack of motivation and inspiration has gotten the best of me. Today I came to check out my blog. Seeing who has paid a visit, became a follower and how they were directed to bumble button. Kinda routine stuff.
 Then that Internet thing happened.
 One thing led to another and I am back in creativity land! On pintrest I found some of my images pinned and repinned!  How inspiring to be that first domino. Maybe there was a warm thought, a little grin, maybe even a little excitement out there because of the images in my posts. Of course I am not the first domino. It all starts with that first dab of paint long ago.
   Today I have lots of butterflies. They are from an old book for identifying butterflies and moths. Print and use in all your paper creations. Much Love to you all, Louise
