Antique Prints

Thought I would share with you a find I had at an Antique Fair one or two years ago.

The Antique Fair visits every Easter and one year I travelled along to see what kind of trinkets and baubles they had.  I discovered a man selling prints such as these and walked away but never forgot them.  So, you guessed it, the following year back I went with a fist of notes to see if he was there.

The gentleman told me they were pages from a very old magazine called "The Art Decorator", showcasing paintings, ceiling art and prints.  The one below is titled "Ceiling" . . .

There really is no rhyme or reason to my tiny collection, and they were definitely bought more for aesthetic than monetary value!

Somehow I think they may be nice mounted behind frameless perspex, but that may change!

First Post

Hello world,

This is my very first post on a very scant looking blog.  Inspired by all the other blogs I have run into on the course of my internet craft searches, I am now attempting my two cents worth.

Lets hope I can suss out the mechanics of these things so we wont look so boringly naked!!

Hopefully I can get some pics loaded soon which will give you an idea of the loves of my life - in no particular order: my two beautiful children, my georgous pooch Millie, quilting, sewing of all descriptions, gardening and decorating our newly built home.  I am sure there is lots more I can't think of now but will add later on.

If you happen to run into me on your internet travels, I hope you are having a nice relaxing day in your world,


Lisa
