Little girls and their dolls 19th century paintings Victorian and Edwardian postcards

During my second childhood I revisited my love for dolls. It was amazing to learn about antique and art dolls and that adults collected them. It is the no.2 hobby in America. My search for images has turned up the beautiful pictures in today's post,They are from paintings and photographs from the  1800 and 1900's. Fine art and simple postcards are the source for these darling pictures. A few are repeats.Hope you enjoy them.

My how fast the days go by! So sorry to all you dear followers. Due to my negligence I am posting 10 pictures of ladies sewing. I gathered these for decorating a binder put together for Legacy information.  As many of you crafty ones also sew (which is what I have been doing) I thought you might enjoy them. 

This is my favorite.

Not really sure if these gals are sewing or doing laundry but it looks like they are enjoying visiting.

Wonder what he said to put such a smile on her face!

Slipped in one from 1920 - 1930's.

Glad you have stopped by for a visit and welcome to new visitors and my wonderful followers. Much love to each and everyone of you, Louise

Isn't she a saucy one!

This old book cover is from a Tuck's book circa 1880-90's.

It's all about the white dresses.

What a great and interesting composition.

Just a simple pretty portrait.

A favorite of mine.

A lovely mother and her little girl having a sweet moment together. The little girl is listening so intently. Maybe the woman is a governess.

Enjoy the pics. Much love to you all, Louise
