Spring in the Netherlands -Postcard Friendship Friday #508

I have always loved this beautiful painting.  If you look closely there's quite a lot going on.  There are chickens under the blossoming trees--which, to me look like they're blowing wildly in the breeze.  There's an old wind mill that's seen better days... 

I like to think about the story behind this wonderful piece.

Have a beautiful weekend, Friends.  Happy Postcard Friendship Friday!

Picking Lilies

I came across this beautiful painting of a Dutch girl picking Easter lilies and I was charmed.  It is such a lovely moment--enchantingly captured...

This little girl, though in the garb of old, reminds me of my children when they were young. 

Wooden Shoes and Windmills -Postcard Friendship Friday #473

I love this artist's work.  These paintings have such a beautiful smooth quality about them.

It's getting close to Halloween...and though these wonderful traditional outfits are not costumes, I thought it to be sweetly fitting to post this vintage postcard.   I've always loved The Netherlands and the wonderful stories and traditions of that country.

Have a great weekend, sweet Friends!  Happy Postcard Friendship Friday.
