Free Digital Ephemera & Art. Summer Fresh Meadow Flowers Red Poppies, White Daisies, and Blue Cornflowers.

 Hi everyone! Hope you are having a peaceful and creative day. 

I have a question for you all. Every once in awhile I look at the 'stats' for my blog. Nothing fancy or complicated. There are a few colorful charts that show the number of page views, top referring URLS, keywords and the countries my visitors are from. Since Bumble Button is a personal, just for fun blog and not commercial I never looked into any details. I do like to see how many people visit and from what countries.  It is rather mundane and doesn't change that much.  Except for the last three months!  Half of the page views are from Sweden!  What is going on in Sweden? My great grandmother Elsa was from Sweden so I find it kind of fun and interesting. If you can shed some light on why, please let me know!

Now on to todays pretty pictures. 

Looking through books, online museums and ephemera I noticed bouquets combining red poppies, blue cornflowers, daisies, and wheat. I started saving them until I had enough for a blog post. Such a lovely happy combination of colors and textures. My guess is these bloom at the same time of year. Imagine coming across a meadow full of these flowers! 

Thank you for the kind comments! They inspire me to keep looking for images for all of you.

Stay well, be kind, and so happy you came for a visit, Louise

Sweet Peas the Second Birth flower for April ~ Free Digital Printies Antique Seed Catalogs & Ephemera

Hi and welcome to one and all! 

This is a second welcome April post.  That's because the month of April has two birth flowers. The daisy and the sweet pea. Today I have pictures of sweet pea flowers to add to the ones of daisies listed on the 1st of April. They have such different qualities! Sweet peas can smell so delightful and there is nothing more cheerful than a daisy. Near my house there is a little patch of wild growing sweet peas that are extra fragrant! I need to see how they are doing this year. Sweet Peas represent; blissful pleasure, kindness and greetings.I send you kindness and greetings. I hope you can blissfully take pleasure in creating something pretty from the pictures!

Much love to you all, 

Louise 

Pretty little girls picking flowers ~ Instant Art from Victorian Books ~ Painting of Girl with Flowers by Sophie Anderson

Hi everyone!

The pictures today feature little girls with flowers.  They are from Victorian children's books and advertisement cards. Two are old paintings.

I hope you are having a wonderful fall day. The nights are cooling off and I had to get out a blanket to stay warm the last few nights. I love the fall!

That's enough for now. Much love to you all as always, Louise

This one would be so sweet next to a vase of dry  lavender.

Victorian vegetable and floral garden free clip art scraps for collage and other creations.

The warm days of August remind me of vegetable gardens. The smell of the tomato plants and eating crisp pea pods is a favorite.  The Victorian seed books and scraps just had to be in todays post.
