What would Jane Austen do? Play Hide and Seek or Badminton? Lovely Poupees Epoque Empire Clipart

Good morning and welcome! 

 I stumbled upon a very unusual and interesting book on toys and games. It was written in the French language so it was the pictures that caught my eye. I couldn't wait to share some of the pictures with you. Here are a few of the many engravings and colored plates.Maybe Jane and her sister enjoyed similar ladylike outdoor activities. 

The French dolls are dressed in the Empire style which puts them in Jane Austen's lifetime.  The elaborately dressed poupees are just waiting to make their way into your greeting cards, collages and mixed media art.

Hope you are all well. I am sending much love to each and every one of you.

 Hide and seek.

Badminton? 

Beautiful Woman with Waterlilies Antique Postcard~ John William Waterhouse ~Antique Water Lily Button Card Free Clip Art

Good morning and welcome to all of you!

I am really pleased how well this group of images came together. Started when I came across the antique postcard on TuckDB.  So lovely in muted colors and art nouveau esthetic.  Then I remembered The Lily button card.  John William Waterhouse's paintings often have settings near ponds streams and water in general. His 1894 painting of Ophelia is perfect for today's post.

I hope you enjoy the art work and can use the graphics in your artwork and crafts.

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.

 I hope you find something to enjoy and create with on Bumble Button.

Madame Pompadour portraits by François Boucher ~ Free Vintage Button Card and Rococo Label Clip Art

Madame Pompadour needs to powder her nose! It was easy to pick paintings to go with this button card.  I love the sumptuous silks, lace, and ribbons in portraits from this time period.

White Edwardian Dresses on Warm Summer Days

Today I ventured to blogs I have not visited for several years. A walk back into all the creativity, beauty and artists that inspired me years ago.  Many of the blogs had changed and several inactive. Maybe the owner is just taking a break and will return, Then some had gone full on glossy professional with advertising. Upgraded memberships and exclusive offers.   I even found images of button cards like I post for $3. each! 

Bumble buttons is a personal blog. Low stress for me, images for you to enjoy. 

 My only hope and request is that images are used by you in your personal projects and artwork.
