Saturday Image Bonus 134

For the next few days I will be posting images from a book that I found at the flea market called Flower Children by Elizabeth Gordon and illustrations by MT Ross .  The book is from 1910.  There are dozens of adorable images of flower children.  I can't wait to make a stationary set using these images.  Enjoy!
As always feel free to use any of the images on my website in your artwork but please do not post or sell the original image on the web in a group or collection. If you use one in a project and post it to your site please link it back to here or leave a comment in the comments section of the image on this site so we can all enjoy. I love to see what you create.  Please be sure to leave a comment if you stop by. It inspires me to post more.

    I love these. My favorite one is the flower girl in all pink. They just make me smile. I have never found a book that old. I am always looking and hope to luck out one day. Thanks for posting them.

    Cora...My grandmother had this book as a child and she, in turn gave it to me when I was quite young. Thank you for triggering a very happy memory! How I wish I knew where this book is now!

    Thank you so much for sharing all these wonderful flower child images! I like them all, but probably like Geranium the best. I SO appreciate all of your effort in finding and sharing all of these great images with us! Thank you, Cora! How may I share some of my collection of vintage images with you? What about copyrights?

    I have 2 copies of this book (one was my grandmother's, the other I bought at a flea market (but the print registration is off, so isn't great quality.) I LOVE all of the books published by this company - illustrations are so beautiful. Thanks for sharing!
