Something for Saturday . . .

I just love old art prints, especially simple prints with simple colors, and simple subjects.  These cute prints were given to me by my sweet sister.  Her church was up-dating their library, and was giving away all of the out dated pictures.  I just love these simple prints and can't wait to frame them!

This one is going in my downstairs bathroom, don't you just love the old fashioned, vintage feel of this picture!?

 This one is going in my spare bedroom, where my little grands sleep when they stay overnight.  It will remind them to say their prayers before bed. . . so cute!

These prints remind me of my own childhood.  I love to think about the past, and remember the way that I felt when I was young, but I'm glad that time marches on, and makes us who we are today!


"Look not at the days gone by with a forlorn heart. They were simply the dots we can now connect with our present, to help us draw the outline of a beautiful tomorrow."

Darling pictures.
How lucky that you have them now, and they are not in a dumpster.

They will be a charming addition to your décor.

I miss those old days, those simpler times!!
I long for a return to old fashioned-ness :)

Yes, life marches on. I will always be at the back of the line though :)

Have a sweet day.

Such memories - I love those prints. I remember them from Jr. Sunday School (remember that?) and primary when I was very young. These would be so great framed and hung on the wall. They are just full of special memories.

We are so much a like. I love vintage anything. These prints are adorable. I too like to think back on my childhood; but regretfully my memory isn't like it used to be. You are such a dear and I miss you. I do hope we can get together soon.
Blessings, love and hugs!
