Fall Leaves and Sunlight, Pictures for today From Victorian Children's Books

The days slip by... October was a very posting kinda month and November not so much. There seems to be other projects that come up and off I go into sorting buttons, reading, sewing and a little gardening.   Keeping in touch with my sisters and mom is always a treat. We talk till my phone's battery gives out. The phone is dead but I am enriched and feel connected with my family.
     This afternoon is a beautiful and sunny one. The leaves on the walnut trees are turning a rich yellow green. The Japanese Maple in front is a burgundy red. Like crisp apples. Next to the evergreens it all looks so very fall. Laying in the sunlight with my kitties watching the sun go down. It is very pretty through the colorful leaves. I feel at peace.
Today there is no set theme. Just a few pictures that felt good to me. Enjoy, Louise

Jane Austen Clothing Regency Fachion Plates, Early 1800's. Free clip and instant art.

Welcome to you all. Thank you for all your well wishes. Luckily, being careful has paid off My back is doing much better .So grateful it doesn't hurt to sit at my desk and computer aa much. How convenient a laptop would be!
Isn't October going fast?
This post was in my drafts so I have something for you today.  I can post without spending a lot of time at my desk. The pictures and fashion plates are from early 1800's. The ones with the large puffy sleeves are circa 1830. The others are earlier and are Regency fashions. Jane Austen era clothing. The first one and the oil are  my favorite's.
I have been thinking of doing a give away. It would be so fun to put together a collection of goodies or buttons.My only concern is shipping costs over seas. Any hints about doing a give away are welcome.
I am so very happy that you have come for a visit. Welcome to all my new followers. It makes it so fun to blog and share all the pictures.
Much Love, Louise

Victorian Die-cut scrap booking pictures. Free clip art of Fans, Doves, Bird cages, Little girl in frilly lace bonnet,Castle

Hi everyone! For some reason I like old Victorian die-cut scraps.What a nice lady like activity finding pictures to arrange into a book. The Victorians would fit right in with our contemporary scrap booking and paper craft trends. My scrap book is in my computer! The hunting and gathering of pictures to "cut" and "paste" is what I have come to like. Even more than making a physical scrap book album. Finding surviving old albums is treat offering a glimpse into someones life over a hundred years ago.The scraps in today's post have been cleaned up a little to restore the colours and any tears. Being well over 100 years old they are free for your use.
Glad you stopped by for a visit.
Much love to each and everyone of you, Louise
