Simply Saturday

Simply Saturday
I went to work today, went to the market, went to the mail box to pick up mail
and my heart skipped a couple (a lot) of beats.
A lady named Carol Anne's Boutique sent me a surprise and what a surprise!!!
Her blog is one of vintage photos that she kindly lets us download and use in our art work. Feminine, vintage and so sweet are her photos.
Hwere is the envelope as I received it.

Here is the inner, pretty and see through floral print envelope.

This is the lovely card that was in the envelope attached to the floral inner envelope.

This is my beautiful surprise. The detail Carol Anne went to is amazing. The heart is out of 2 pretty brown, tan, and Robin's Egg blue papers, little blue fleurs with orange stamens centered in each, a bit of vintage lace, the coordinating blue & brown vintage seam binding, and the tiniest scrabble pieces spelling "Vintage."
The pocket is holding the most precious vintage real photograph postcard of a very proper little girl dressed in all white with cotton eyelet and lace. 1910 and just a beautiful in 2009

My camera was acting out so the photos are not the best : (
She is beautiful holding a bouquet of white roses in her right hand : )

She is all that a little girl should be!!!

I have several vintage/antique photographs of babies in their christening gowns; yet this young lady is absolutely the best.
In closing; Thank you so much for your kindness
Carol Anne

peace
