A Sweet Vintage Illustration

Happy Sunday, everyone!
I hope you are all having a nice weekend.
Today we are sharing another illustration from our vintage children's book.


This little girl's dress and bonnet are just the cutest.  I had a red and white polka dot
dress when I was little. 
May your day bring happy memories!

  7. Could that red and white fabric be dotted swiss. I LOVE dotted swiss and which I there was a resurgence of it somehow today so a 55 year old lady could relive that wonderful feel of that fabric! Wish I could find linen childrens books. I have my eye out at auctions for them but just don't seem to find them. Will let you know if I am lucky enough to get a dotted swiss blouse AND a linen childrens book someday! Have a great Sunday. deb

  16. You are definitely the Queen of Vintage. That picture is just way too cute. I love the bonnet and sweet dress. That sailor suit is so funny. I don't know why it makes me laugh but it does.

    Enjoy...

  17. Are these not the best books? After I saw your last cute post I went on Ebay and bought two of her books! Number Rhymes and Nursery Rhymes....Florence Salter was an incredible illustrator! Right up our alley, don't you think????
    The books were a little pricey, but perfect! And seeing as how they are from 1939 and 1941 it seemed a steal to me!!!!! Love the linen pages! Thanks for sharing and reminding me I had to get these! LOL

  22. The baby dress in my cedar chest is red and white stripe. That must have been the color back then a long time ago. Thank you for the memories. Have a wonderful week.
