Victorian Lady in Her Garden

To say goodbye to June, here is a scan of a lovely Victorian painting of a lady in her summer garden.  This is a very large image, suitable for making a print if you like, but as with all the images you can easily resize it to a smaller size for a card, altered art, or jewelry. 

I see roses, daisies, hollyhocks, yellow rudbekia or coreopsis.  Love the white dress with the blue sash and straw hat.  Look behind her at the garden door and you will see she has a visitor.  Wouldn't you love to have an enclosed garden with an old brick wall and wooden door and cobblestone path? So romantic, the perfect spot for a walking daydream.

Vintage Butterflies Print

Here is a summery butterfly print for you -- hope it inspires!  Actually I'm not sure whether these are butterflies or moths, but there are pretty wings you could clip out, and I love the raspberries and wildflowers.  If you look closely you'll find a caterpillar or two -- eek!  These look really pretty framed, too, or printed as is for cards.

Tomorrow is the official first day of summer, so I'll try to find something appropriate...

Victorian Flower Fairy

JPG

I decided having only one image in my Fairies and Angels selections wasn't enough (I've been looking at my Pinterest boards), so here is a very sweet little flower fairy.

There is so much blooming this time of year, I'm sure the flower fairies are happy!  I noticed that my new online friend Lunagirl is having a "garden fairies" challenge on her blog so this would work for that theme.  I have some butterfly prints as well that I can share.  Of course Lunagirl has created lots of beautiful wing images and other images that she sells on her site Lunagirl.com!

I am including this fairy in both jpg and png format (the png file has the background removed for you).  Have fun! Happy summer!

Wildflower Botanical Print

This is a page scanned from an old botanical garden book.  The picture is an illustration of Sweet Alyssum -- I'm sure this is a European variety but I've had alyssum in my garden here in the South too.  It's a lovely print, and perfect for late May when spring is starting to turn into summer.  Enjoy and come back!  (Look in the lefthand navigation panel to follow me by google, email, or pinterest!)

Anything garden or woodland or having to do with birds, I'm fond of.  I hope you're fond of this cute little vintage image, adapted from an antique Victorian nature book, showing a blackbird's nest and egg. 

Paris Postcard with Pansies and Bees

Here is another French carte postale image, with the addition of some lovely garden pansies and some little bees and moths.  This is an altered image I have created myself.  Enjoy for personal use ~ and please credit my blog if you publish something.  Thanks!  Have a blessed day.

Springtime Victorian Angel with Pink Flowers

Let's start with one of my favorite angels for good luck!  Isn't she gorgeous?  This lovely angelic lady is an antique "scrap" diecut that I've scanned and cleaned up for you.  Please enjoy this beautiful Victorian angel in pink for personal use (and please credit my blog if you publish a piece that uses the image ~ thanks!)
