Welcome to everyone! 
I love Indian summer. I love fall colors. Cool nights and warm days. The change of sunlight as hours of daylight decrease. Coming across this book at the Archive online library I just had to share the pictures with you all. What a pretty cover for one those adorable miniature books. Speaking of miniature books they are my current obsession. My sister sent me a link to Heather Tracy's miniature books. I would love to make one of these. Adorable! Heather even worked for the Graphics Fairy at one time. So talented.
So glad you found or are returning to my little blog.

Adorable Victorian Greeting Cards ~ Little Girl with Doll ~ Girl with Daisy~ Free Graphics Images

Hi everyone and welcome! 
These adorable pictures are Victorian greeting cards. 
The first one is so sweet with what looks like a Hitty doll. Love the warm colors that remind me that it will soon be fall.  The girl with the big blue bow might be contemplating a boy and the game "he loves me,he loves me not" as she pull out the petals of the daisy. Just two of the many colorful images from a 1880's scrapbook. More to follow in the coming days. So very happy you found your way to my little blog! 
I hope you add them to your creative projects and art.
