Theme 3 - Birds and nests

One day my grandmother Nana went to pick out some old bird prints. She let me pick out several. It is one of those memories that really stuck in my mind. When ever I see antique bird prints it reminds me of that day. I just love the humming birds.

Now I really must attend to the Legacy buttons!

A second post in one day just because you are all so nice!

There may even be a third one of birds and nests.

Remember your requests are welcome. It would be so fun to look for it.

 I also thought it was time to move out of the 18th century. A light and cheerful feeling of illustrations from a vintage child's book seemed perfect.

 The poodle and fiends are so cute to me.Especially the one who is so happy running along.

This just had to be made into a label for you.

I am sure this sweet baby was listed before. It is included since it came from the book.

There you have it, another batch of free clip art. Hope they find their way into one of your projects.

Much love to each and everyone of you. You brighten my day.

Marie Antoinette and portraits of beautifully clothed women circa late 1700's

Wait till you see what I have for you today!!

It has been a very successful hunt for images the last few days. My computer is going to burst or just continue to slow down. There are so many beautiful pictures that I can't help it. Fine art paintings from late 1700's to 1800's. mostly. The theme is;

incredible clothing

 beautiful women,

beautifully painted

and

  Marie Antoinette in an unbelievable crazy fancy dress.

A little some thing for anyone who sews historic costumes.

Be sure and right click to bring up a larger version.

I love this one. She is so pretty and her outfit is scrumptious.

Not really sure what is going on. Pigeons in the house?The chair? But the dress is perfect.

There goes the clothing allowance!  No wonder a lady always had a fan. This must be so hot to wear. All the material in the dress and all the under garments must be heavy. 

I was drawn to this one by the color and opulent setting.

A few more.

Glad you stopped by. Love, Louise

A second posting for you today!

Puppy dogs, fuzzy kittens and happy children in charming paintings by Arthur John Elsley. 1860-1952. His  idyllic scenes of happy families and their pets in the English countryside are so engaging. I have been collecting his pictures and will post more in the future. Just sharing images that I am drawn to. These are only shown as examples of the artist and are not posted as clip art. Enjoy them only and thank you for stopping by.
