I wanted to share with you my collection of Victorian Children pictures that I have hanging throughout my home. I have always been drawn to these prints of rosy-cheeked children and the innocence of childhood on their sweet faces. The next to last picture is actually a card I received from a friend. The little angel is leading the heavenly choir of bluebirds. The last picture is by Renoir, and it is called "Dance at Bougival". It is my favorite Renoir painting, so romantic, and hangs in my living room. Thanks for stopping by today. I love having company. Vicki
Hi Vicki...Your Renoir is beautiful! All of your paintings are so beautiful...what a wonderful collection...such a treasure you have in your home! Mary
Hi Vicki, I am visiting by way of Kim's at shabby, pink and pretty. Your pictures are very pretty. You have a beautiful blog! Hope your retirement goes well, enjoy yourself, you've worked hard! Valerie
These paintings are so beautiful, I remember having a couple similar years ago, only prints of I believe Pinky and Blue Boy I think they were called. I have no idea where they went.
How very cute! I remember my grandma had a picture of two little children with a guardian angel at the edge of a cliff. I loved that picture as a child, now unfortunately I don't know where it is...
Hello Vicki, My mother has a chromolithograph of the top print that you have and I have a chromo of the second print that you have. We both share the same taste in pictures. What a lovely display.....

A Recipe for True Beauty
For attractive lips, speak words of kindness. For lovely eyes, seek out the good in people. For a slim figure, share your food with the hungry. For beautiful hair, let a child run his or her fingers through it once a day. For poise, walk with the knowledge you'll never walk alone.
In the end, a person is only known by the impact he or she has on others.
I am a romantic at heart. . .

Thank you for stopping by for a visit at Bunny Cottage!! It always makes me smile when you do.
Thank you for your sweet comments!! They always brighten my whole day!!
I am a retired schoolteacher after 33 years. I am looking forward to retired life although I will probably still tutor some at my school. I have seven beautiful grandchildren that I enjoy spending time with. My family and my faith are the most important things in my life. I am so glad you decided to stop and spend a little time with me here at Bunny Cottage. It is my heart's desire that I can be an encouragement to someone along life's way.
