A Child's Garden of Verses!


I saw you toss the kites on high
And blow the birds about the sky.
(Robert Louis Stevenson)


Fairy places, fairy things,
Fairy woods where the wild bee wings.
(Robert Louis Stevenson)


Michele and Don Beesley of Grand Rapids, Michigan have established the most wonderful website for art prints from vintage children's books. These are just a few of the most beautiful and amazing prints from their collection. Please take a moment to wander over to their site and check out all the gorgeous vintage illustrations! The colors are amazing (note the brilliant little bits of PINK)! The quality fantastic! I promise you will love them!

You can see more (& shop) here: Art Prints for Kidz!

  1. Happy Pink Saturday Coralie Sweetie...
    Oh I love this post. How ironic. Don and Michele contacted me and let me select 2 prints also from their collection, and these are the very same two from all of the selection they had, that I also chose. Great minds think alike. Their prices are so reasonable. I am so laughing to myself that we selected the very same prints.

    Have a beautiful day sweetie, and Happy Pink Saturday. Country hugs and so much love...Sherry

  7. I love reading and I have tons of books in storage from the kids younger days! I have used a few to make displays with various dolls. When the kids are out of this house then hopefully I can display my dolls again! Sigh! Too many pets running around here.

    I do love your post today. What a great idea!
