Oh, it’s been such a long week and it’s only barely half over! I swear to God that the entire last week was shorter than this week has been up till Thursday morning! 🙂

I’m actually off today after posting this to do some heavy hitting yard work and I hope to finally get my garden planted this weekend. I should have pulled up a pretty vintage garden image, but this is the one I had on hand – and it really is a pretty piece! This is a Victorian era trade card advertising Waterloo Organs made by Malcolm Love & Co. Knowing this came from my late 1800’s scrapbook and that the book Little Women came out in 1880, I do wonder if this lovely parlor scene with four little women is inspired by the book. We all know that the book is a complete classic, but did you know that Lousia May Alcott was so popular that she could be considered the J.K. Rowling of the late 1800’s?!
