Another day to paint things...

I have been painting more things today.
I got a quart of dark mint green paint from the hardware store, and then mixed it with some cotton white paint that I have here. I'm really pleased with the fresh light mint color that was created :):)
I am painting some furniture. I should have some before and after pictures to post this week. :)

Antique Postcards

I like to collect these from a local antique shoppe. They are wonderful for so many projects.
I wish that modern card companies took as much care with the gorgeous detailing that is present on these postcards.
These ones date to roughly the end of the Victorian era to world war 1.




I wonder why there is a flowery little anchor in the upper corner? It's awesome.


Embossing+gilding+glitter.
This one is a favorite.





So detailed.
