I thought this lovely Geranium frame looked great showing the delightful, smiling(!) Belle Epoque children posing on the stairs:
I created this frame with a page from a 1901 McGregor’s Seed Catalog, and the charming children are (you probably guessed it) from the Petrine Wiik Collection 😀
You may use the Petrine Wiik Collection images too, for your personal artwork, click on my badge below to download images from the collection:
And here is a low resolution of the page ready for you to use as a frame for your own photos:
And finally a preview of the original 1901 McGregor’s seed catalog page

More beautiful frames here sweetie, and a wonderful picture of all the kids here too. They really put me back to my childhood, where it was more common with many kids too. I´´m the oldest girl of 4 girls and just have 1 older brother, and we wasn´t the family with most kids, as many of my schoolmates were both 8 or 10 siblings too. And hubby is also one of the smallest of a bunch of 8 siblings, so they´re also used to be much more kids at his home ha ha ha. And then to think about how many people almost fainted, when I´ve told, we had 4 kids, and thought it was many, but ofccause now a days it is more than averidge ha ha ha.
But a lot of great pictures, you´ve shared, and I look forward to hear, what you find out about Petrines parents, and if I´m right about my thoughts ha ha ha.
Have a great night and sweet dreams sweet lady.
Thank you Darling 🙂 I think maybe some of these kids could be siblings, but I doubt that all of them are, they seem too close in age, for that to be possible? I think they are totally charming, with their little smiles and faces 😀 This image is also designed extra large, I was planning to print it on A3 paper for Grethe 😉 Every once in a while I give her a piece of something, to cover up the big surprise that I’m working on…lol I thought she might enjoy hanging this one as a poster in her office 😉 Although I have 3 siblings myself, we have ended up being a very small family. My father was a lone child, and we have next to none contact with my mothers siblings, due to the long distance. So I’m a little jealous of everyone with large, happy families…:-P I wish you a great weekend! xoxoxo
