What do I think of in Spring? Well Bunnies of course, and in this case they are a variety of Easter Bunnies depicted in these vintage cards. I never knew the Easter bunny was so talented!
And what goes with bunnies you may ask? Well flowers of courses! In my garden the blood root are starting to bloom and I'm seeing the scillia pushing up shoots and soon they'll be showing their cheerful blue colors.
Speaking of flowers, I came across two gorgeous vintage books of wildflowers. They're in my shop now, here's a peek!
The first is
Wild Flowers - Matthias Hermann - First Edition 1973 - Botanical Illustrations - Vintage Collectible - Hardcover with Dust Jacket

I hope you're all well and will try and visit your blogs as soon as possible. It' been a very difficult couple of months for me, but I'm trying to get back into the swing of things!
So tell me, what's blooming in your gardens now?

I've always adored rabbits so Easter is one of my favourite holidays, of course! Happy Spring, Diane! We didn't have a particularly hard winter either. I only had to plug my car in for about 2 weeks total.
ReplyDeleteNice cards and pretty flowers. It's definitely spring here with crazy day-to-day swings in the weather!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful flowers and illustrations! What a gorgeous welcome to Spring! And the music is lovely!
ReplyDeleteDear Diane, it’s lovely to see a new post from you, but I’m sorry to read you’ve had a difficult couple of months. I hope some spring sunshine, and lots of flowers will help to put things right. I love the Easter cards and the books, and your garden flowers are very pretty. Blood root is such a funny name for such a beautiful white flower, is it safe to assume the roots are red? Have a lovely spring and perfect Easter. Hugs Barbara x

Big Hugs to you and the fur babies!!
I forgot to say LOVE the vintage cards!!!
ReplyDeleteThanks Stacy! We're supposed to get rain this weekend. So far no now in the forecast! Hope your snow melts soon!
DeleteStill some snow!! But, I think by tuesday it will be gone! Big Hugs!
DeleteSpring is my favourite season of the year. All the wonderful awakenings...oh that makes me happy. Our winter was very mild until March rolled in. It turned out to be a terrible month and it packed quite a bit of winter in it. I'm hoping April turns out really nice.
ReplyDeleteDear Diane - been missing you. Hope you are doing better. Your vintage cards are adorable...don't you just love Easter? I know I do. Have a super day. P.S. those botanical books look like my kind of reading!! Hugs
ReplyDeleteI have learned that strawberry plants are nearly indestructible. They have survived snow, ice, hail, interminable rain, and drought. So they are in my garden at the moment.
