Ephemera: Illustration cards





I came across these quaint and pretty "cartes publicitaires illustrees" in my endless quest for ephemera.I believe they are advertisement cards of some sort (my french is rudimentary).Very charming....more here.

Flowers











I was on my way out the library door today when this gorgeous book caught my eye.I love having fresh flowers in my home but my mischievous cat loves to behead them....even pretty silk ones.Guess pictures will have to do.Images from Flowers for the Home by Prudence Designs.

Artist: Julia Pott





I thought these playful illustrations by Julia Pott looked wintery and festive in their Icelandic sweaters.....she has prints and cards available for sale in her Etsy store.
