Romance,

This book is filled with the wonderful images of romance and marriage by Harrison Fisher. The final page shows their new love, a baby. Harrison Fisher (1875-1935) was an illustrator of women for many magazines. For the illustrations in this book I used a series of vinatage postcards I bought that were framed in a series. Just beautiful.

Shades of Violet
This album is reminiscent of all the wonderful Victorian violet images. It contains eight pages from my turn of the century violet postcards. Twenty six postcards in all.

Violets represents such a gentle image of caring. This book coordinates with the fragrance box of the same name.
