Todays black & white pictures are from several Harper's Bazar magazines from the 1900's.  All of the drawings are by Caroline Love Goodwin.  She lived a very interesting life and was the first woman democrat congresswoman from New York.  I love her style and the french feel of her drawing.

Easter Hippity Hop1

All this week and next I will be posting vintage Easter postcards from the early 1900's.  These postcards are ones I have collected over the last few years.  They are all so full of fun and whimsy.  I have posted on of my favorites first.  I just love the little girl coming out of the egg and have already made a project using this postcard.  See below.
Here is a small project I made using one of the images.  It was quick and easy.   I used a Martha Stewart  bordered punch to make the decorative border.  The buttons are antiques from my stash.
