A Little Bit Vintage
I'm in the mood for 'A Little Bit Of Vintage'
Napoleon and his friend here [a painting by Palma Vecchio] live on some vintage postcards I found on my travels last year. They have become a constant source of inspiration for me. So much so, I decided to make a few of my own.. Just bits and pieces from around my home, roses from the garden and the dusty faded hues that lend themselves to that vintage feel. The roses are actually pink and lavender.. but my mood today is soft pinks and browns with a good dash of white .. so lavender will have to wait till another post..
Happy St Patrick's Day Everyone
This post was meant to go up yesterday.... but I seem to be having 'The Luck of The Irish'. Internet issues, keyboard not working and now mouse not working.. So if this post makes it up I'll be a happy camper.
Hope you are having better luck!!!

Hola Julie! Muy hermosas tus imágenes, y nostalgiosas tus rosas sin color... y la pintura de Napoleón, me encantaron estos aires antiguos. Gracias por tu visita, y sí las rosas de mi portada son fragmentos de una pintura mía...Te invito a conocer mis obras en mi site web! Yo también adoro las rosas! Un beso enorme, Gloria.
ooh! I love the faded dusty rose.....looks like something from another time. Still snowing here.....can't wait for the roses to bloom....(so glad you avoided the green thing on paddy's day!)
Gorgeous photos! You did a great job giving them a vintage feel. Thanks for reminding me it's St Pats Day. I think I would have gotten pinched today if not! Have a great day Julie! Jennifer:)
Loe your new look! Fabulous!

Well Julie, I am thrilled that it posted, because these images are gorgeous, and just that hues that sooth the spirit. Thank you for all your beautiful posts that feed my need for beauty in my life. The more carnage there is in the world, the more I seek out the lovely things in life. I think we see so much ugly, that we need to be reminded that the world is still an amazing place to be. And you do that here!
Sending hugs to you from here...
The roses are gorgeous...you have made them even more so.
Happy St. Paddy's Day!
XO,
Jane

You certainly conveyed the vintage feel. Lovely images.
Gorgeous all of it ... Have a nice St Patrick's Day Julie! (-:

I have actually worked with a rose that looks like the largest rose in your first photo. Darn if I can think of the name, though!
Just lovely!

Love looking at those pictures specially the old looking ones its a passion of people with old souls. Hah, I just sound creepy but hey the photos rock. Happy St. Patrick's.
I know all about those technical issues. I wish I was more tech savvy. Thanks for the great pics.
Just saw Napoleon in the flesh...:) Yep, at the Potter's Wax Museum in St. Augustine, Florida. Josephine was there too...ancient looking...small people. At least she wasn't taller than he :)
I love your vintage series Julie...you have the magic touch...these are lovely!
Best wishes for a wonderful weekend :)

Would you guess that the first picture would make my heart beat a little faster? I love it! I hope you are having a good week. We have had moments of sunshine...thankfully. It is so good for the soul.
Hey Julie, Hope you are having a lovely start to the weekend. I have been having issues with my router thingy so you type a comment etc and then when you hit the pubish button it goes off the iternet and you have to start again........aargh. Technology I love/hate it most days. I love the tranquil colours of your roses...are you going to do a silver sunday post, it reminds me of them somehow. cheers Katherine

Very interesting these beautiful compositions of delicate shades, my favorite is the flowers and wrought iron. Greetings.
