Home Sweet Home #11

I am happy to join Debra at Common Ground for her Vintage Easter Inspiration Party.  Please go and visit her.  She has a beautiful blog and her home and ideas are very inspiring.

One of my favorite vintage Easter inspirations is the charming art of children's illustrators.

*Photography note- On this photo and the next one the light coming in the window made the photo look overexposed on the light surfaces. So, I added a texture at around 40 % opacity and it gave the overall photo a more even appearance.  The texture was from Kim Klassen.
 

One of my favorite illustrators is Beatrix Potter and her sweet illustrations from the Peter Rabbit series.  

It has inspired me so much I have taken my pencil and tried to draw like some of my favorite illustrators. 

It isn't just Beatrix Potter that inspires me I also admire Kate Greenway; illustrator from the 1870's, who drew such sweet images of children in empire waist dresses.

I love Tasha Tudor and the quaint little drawings she has that border her illustrations.

Mary Engelbreit is also a long time favorite.  I think that was the inspiration for this little chick.

 This little mouse was inspired by another illustrator from a chapter book.  I can't remember which one.

I also love old postcard illustrations.

What inspires you to create?  Is it vintage?  

Speaking of inspiration, you all are very inspiring and creative each week at this Home Sweet Home party.  I am so enjoying your post.  Thank you to everyone who joins me!  Have a wonderful Easter holiday!

I will link to these lovely blogs also.  Go and check them out.
