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.

She's a Lioness!

This wonderful piece is by an artist who goes by the name Coffeepotion.  I love this--she is so perfectly Art Nouveau, in the tradition of Alphonse Mucha. 

I am in awe...

Pumpkin Faces Dance and Gleam -Postcard Friendship Friday #472

What a darling Halloween Postcard!  I love the hanging pumpkin, and especially that wide-eyed black cat.  I have two cats now, Toez the Polydactyl Cat, and our new little friend SnowBug Da'Bean, who looks a great deal like the kitten under the shock-haired boy on this postcard!

Have a lovely weekend, Friends.  Happy Postcard Friendship Friday, and Happy Halloween!

Flying in a Pumpkin!

I found this one online.  This artist is a favorite of mine and I adore the idea of flying across the sky in a pumpkin.

I hope I dream of doing that!

Have a lovely weekend, sweet Friends.

Halloween Signs

There are so many spooky traditions associated with Halloween.  I love this postcard with its white bats, fairy wand and talking candle.  What a charmer!

Have a great week!

Happy Friday the 13th! -Postcard Friendship Friday #471

Yes, it is Friday the 13th.  I've never seen it as a scary holiday, just a fun day--this one was special, though, because the moon was full.  The next full moon on Friday the 13th will be in 2045--long after I am gone to heaven.  Happy Friday the 13th!

It is hard to believe Halloween will be here in six weeks!  Fall is here with a vengeance.  A storm has blown in and it is raining.

Tomorrow the weather is to become especially rambunctious!  I'm kind of looking forward to the thunderstorms they say may roll through here--we don't have many, and when they do come through, they're not dangerous as they are in the mid-western regions of the US.

Have a lovely weekend!  Happy Friday the 13th, Happy Halloween and Happy Postcard Friendship Friday!

A Thrilling Halloween -Postcard Friendship Friday #470

Now that school has started, Halloween is the next holiday in sight.  It is stormy and chilly today.  I actually built a fire for the first time since last Spring.  I will miss the mild summertime temps we had this year.  But Fall is here and winter is just around the corner.

Hope you are all having a GREAT weekend!  Happy Postcard Friendship Friday!
