Antique gold and violets perfume labels. Postcard ephemera with pretty girls in purple dresses and violets. Perfect for scrapbooking and journals.

Hi everyone! Welcome to Bumble Buttons. The collection of graphics today feature violets. Pretty little violets adorn postcards and best of all perfume labels. I am striving to put posts that are similar to the July 26 2011, one. That post is unbelievably  popular! The difference is the type of flowers.

Great Grandmother's Trunk filled With Late 1800's Wedding Trousseau.

I spent many wonderful times looking through my great grandmother's trunk. My youngest sister even tried her wedding on. Her entire wedding outfit was carefully wrapped and saved. It is now in a museum. Apparently it is rare to have everything including under garments, shoes and nightgown. The first illustration is my favorite.
