A Victorian Happy New Year

First of all, HAPPY NEW YEAR!!

 

I love Victorian Vintage cards.

Especially with children in them.

I love how they are dressed.

I love the look of innocence.

To read about the history of these cards go here.

I found a bag full of Victorian Christmas tags at a thrift shop a few years ago.

(Yes, I still have my tree up!)

I think it just adds to the wonder of Christmas through a child's eye.

I have some cards that were given over the years that I keep just to put out.

I've had this small tin for awhile.

I only use it for decoration at Christmas.

This tin was purchased at IKEA.

It had cookies in it, and the only reason I bought it was because I loved the picture!

This tin I do use.

And I always make sure I get it back!

To see the recipe for these Snow-Covered Almond Crescents go here.

This was in the frame section of a thrift shop.

I loved the frame and the picture.

I love the white outfit she is wearing.

I love her curls.

She adds a sweet touch.

Another purchase at an antique market.

Couldn't help myself.

The picture and the title.

"Happy Thoughts"

A page in the book.

This is the backside of the book.

It was written in 1894.

 

This is one the many things that makes my heart smile when I see it,

so I thought I'd share it.

 

I pray that this year finds you enjoying the things and people you love.

May you have many "Happy Thoughts".

 

Blessings,
