Vintage Strawberry Tags

"Note on Kitchen Table"

I will be back soon to bake some bread,
But now I'm picking wild berries instead,
Out in the meadows, under the sun.
I know I'm leaving my work undone,
But the wind was soft on summer grass;
The trees stood up tall for me to pass;
And the blue sky smiled and bent down low.
So what could I do but laugh and go?

"Wild Strawberries"


Heavy the air with a fragrance rare,
Strawberries ripe in the meadow,
Luscious & red where the vines are spread
Thickly in sun and shadow.

Birds & Blossoms


"When April steps aside
for May, like diamonds
all the raindrops glisten; 
Fresh violets open every
day: tsome new bird
each hour we listen."

~ Lucy Larcom ~




These spring tags were made
with postcard images from a set:
Birds and BlossomsBased on
paintings by A.L. West.
