Snowmen,

A more modern book for the Christmas season.  15 images of snowmen in all their wonderland splendor.  Printed on crisp white snow, I mean paper. Sorry the snowmen title did not reproduce on this page.
Actual size 24/32"x30/32"


Trim the Tree,  

This is one of my favorite books because I wrote the small story and included illustrations which are reproductions of my original large watercolors.  It is about bears who find themselves staring into Christmas balls while trying to decorate the tree. I  had so much fun doing the watercolours. I set up my bears and large Christmas balls just like still lifes. So easy to get lost while looking into the other world in the balls. Eight illustrations are included in this book. Actual book size is 22/32"x 27/32" 

Frosty,  

When I was young I lived in Regina Sask. Winter there was a wonderful time with making snow men and getting lost in the fantasy snow piles in our back yard. In those days I would listen to the music Frosty while reading my Golden book edition of Frosty. Included in this book and on the cover are photos of me and my friend Arlene with our version of Frosty when I was about four. I think my dad helped, lol. The cover from the music and golden book and illustrations of snowmen from some of my vintage Christmas cards.





Night Before Christmas,

This books is a reproduction of one of my original vintage Night Before Christmas books. The  six illustrations are beautiful and just my idea of what Santa should look like.

Victorian Santa, 
Great for the Christmas holiday season.  This album contains fifteen  beautiful images of Victorian Santas. Some of them are from my grandmother's scraps album. The color reproduction of these old lithographs is outstanding, giving the softness of the Victorian era. (Reformatted 2001)
Actual size of this book is 24/32"x29/32"





Halloween Activity Book,
 

Turn of the century fun and games. Includes   Halloween eight halloween projects.  Your miniature child can color witches, count bones, cut out a candy basket or vintage decorations. Suitable for the more modern Halloween setting too. Actual size is 29/32"x39/32"

Easter, 
This book is filled with images from Easter postcards from my collection.
Some are very different Easter images than what you would see today. I think they were often very whimsicle at the turn of the century.
Loved the image on the cover as it looks very Arts & Crafts style. There is also a fold out page for you to put your small Easter postcards.

Valentines Volume 2

This album is more V ctorian the Volume 1. The images are somewhat larger to appreciate the delicacy of the laces. It also has eight pages covered with lacy vintage valentine images. Twenty cards in all. From cherubs to Victorian couples.
