A New Etsy

No, it's not my new Etsy.

Yet.
But my friend,Pam Q., SHE has a new Etsy store.
It's called Harvest Queen Vintage.
I kinda all ready bought something from it.
Really, I couldn't help myself.

I'm so happy I gave absolutely no thought to whether or not I should make this purchase.



Peter and Peggy were meant to be in my home.
I just know it!


This style of drawing is my all time favorite.


The colors, the details,


I love everything about it.


Pam Q. thinks I could rip it apart and use it in my art, because some of the pages are missing.
That's going to be tough.
Maybe after I read through the entire book.
Maybe after I frame some of the pages.


Maybe...

Don't forget! Keep track of our guys as they prepare for the race.
40 days to race time!!!

  2. What a neat book! I was going to say the same thing as Libbie did about Dick and Jane. :-) I have such a thing for old books and their illustrations and I will have to check out that new Etsy shop. Thanks for letting us know about it Lynn!

  3. Fabulous book! I don't think I could rip it apart either -- not even for the sake of my art. BUT . . . . I would take it and have some copies made! Hugs, Terri xoxo

  6. That is SO funny Lynn! We had the same exact book growing up! I'll have to ask my mom if she still has it, I sure hope so! I love those wonderful graphics. You could always have some copies made of the pages that you love, rather than tearing them out of the book:)

  8. Oh, that is an adorable book, Rebecca! Framed pages would look absolutely delightful, wouldn't they? Even when books are falling apart, I find it hard to cause them further grief, but would love to try this myself...LOL.

    Will check out your friend's etsy shop...:)

  15. great score lynn! the illustrations are too wonderful...maybe you could color copy some...and craft without guilt...
    your bike team post was so...inspiring, heartwarming, wonderful. what a fabulous group of fellows. every school could use a group like that, you know? folks not afraid to create a solution to a need for our kids.
    are you not going to be on one of those bikes???
