Children & Spring Chicks

Yesterday the twig was brown & bare;

To-day the glint of green is there;

Tomorrow will be leaflets spare;

I know no thing so wondrous fair,
No miracle so strangely rare.
I wonder what will next be there!

~ L.H. Bailey ~

Last year, I found

"The Mother book," c. 1928*

for $1 at a local antique store.
The advice is a little dated, but

the images are still just as adorable!

*Since the booklet is copyrighted

after 1923, these baby images and

stationery pages are for your

personal use only.

An Irish Prayer

May God give you...
For every storm, a rainbow,
For every tear, a smile,
For every care, a promise,

And a blessing in each trial.

For every problem life sends,

A faithful friend to share,

For every sigh a sweet song,

And an answer for each prayer.

Crowned with Roses

Clear was the heaven

and blue, and May, with her cap

crowned with roses, stood in her

holiday dress in the fields, and

the wind and the brooklet

murmured gladness & peace,

God's-peace!

~ Henry W. Longfellow ~

The roses are from the cover of a book

featuring Longfellow's poetry, from my

collection. I chose to leave the worn areas.

These roses aged beautifully!

Painting is poetry

that is seen rather than felt,

and poetry is painting that is

felt rather than seen.

The Lasting Perfume

"Pleasure is the

flower that passes;
remembrance, the

lasting perfume."

~ Jean de Boufflers ~

I created 8 coordinating printable

scrapbook papers for you! All are 8" x 8",

and are free for your personal use.

Flowers pictured in the

Victorian postcard: forget-me-not,

which symbolized true love; and

lily-of-the valley, for sweetness,

humility, returning happiness, and

trustworthiness. Beautiful

combination, wouldn't you agree?
