Antique Botanical Book plates Late 1800's Victorian Era

I am so glad you have found my blog and hope you continue to visit.

Welcome back to all my followers.

  When I came across these I knew what to post today. Botanical prints are one of my favorite things. We all need some spring in the fall.The days are getting shorter and colder! Antique book plates circa. 1875 are instant art to decorate with. They all click to a larger size. The colors are so pretty and soft.The printer used the same simple palette so they work well together. The last one may just find it's way into a frame at my house.

While checking out some of your blogs I was thrilled to see my images. Stamped on fabric and made into pillows, on paper gift bags and lots of cards and tags! Be sure and share your creations with me. And of course be sure you mention Bumble Button as your image source. Free images for your personal use with no advertising.Your comments and visits/pageviews are my inspiration and motivation.

Much love to you all, Louise

Good morning to you all! We have rain and more on the way. Not sure if I am ready for cloudy skies and cooler temperatures

 I love those super soft fluffy socks and wear them all the time when it is cold. This afternoon out came a pair to keep my toe's all cozy. Do you have dollar stores near you.? Everything is $1.00 so I stocked  up my supply of cozy socks. Bored yet?

Legacy news--There is a new manager whom I have not met yet. Last week they moved everything into the temporary location. The remodeling of  the old store began on Sunday. Maybe I will like the changes and new people. I hope so. Change is not my forte' And of course Sherry made me feel comfortable and I miss hear dearly.

Enough jibber-jaber from me. You came for the pictures. While going through old books I came across these wonderful illustrations. Perfect for scrap booking frames, labels or as an element in a collage. And to finish the post with a flourish, a nest with a gathering of bird friends. I just knew you would like them.

This first one is my favorite.

     

Enjoy! Much love to you all, Louise

Lots of flowers!! Lilacs, Forget-me-nots,Violets,Lilly of the valley, for your collage atc and scrap

Good morning!! Had your coffee yet? Today is going to be a wonderful day I am sure. Northern California is finally having some consistent sunshine. So nice considering it is mid June.

I think the following flower bouquets are just sooo  pretty. Beautiful artwork. I may have posted some of these before but am including them into one post as I try to make it easier for you to find a subject.  My favorite's are the white basket with forget-me-nots and the one with the dark blue frame thing. Just lovely, a great find.

It feels good to be posting again. Much love to you  as always, Louise

Hi everyone, hope all my visitors and followers are happy as can be. It was so nice to have the sunlight coming in my window this afternoon. My cold and cough  are hanging on way to long. I can't remember ever having something for almost a month. Much better than before but not 100% yet.

  lululiz in lalaland  has the cutest little match boxes. They have been decorated in fun creative ways. I love little things, they are right up my alley. And they had buttons in them! I want one too!

Today there are 9 new pictures for you. Most are from antique or vintage postcards.

This just appeals to me. Of course there is a sleigh and I always like lots of contrast between the figure and the light snowy background. I would guess she is a lady of the late 1700's based on her dress.

This picture really evokes a pleasant spring day to me.

Another romantic picture with contrast. Early 1900's.

A day at the races.

To to cute!

Flowers for the day. Love these pretty tulips.

A couple of little darlings.

Oh you all make my day! It is still so fun to post images for you. Enjoy the creating. Much love, Louise

The Turn-into's Childrens book from 1920 with the best illustrations!

Another day, another scan! These illustrations are from a 1920 children's book "the Turn-into's". The illustrations  have a youthful Art Deco feel and are so charming. This time my book did not fall apart! Lots of flowers, a quaint little girl and all kinds of bugs that you may come across in a garden. I just love children's books and readers. They have the best illustrations.  Enjoy and thank you so much for visiting and your kind comments,Louise
