While researching the Antique Seed Catalogs, I have really noticed the Geranium images! Today’s 1908 Child’s frame is (again) based on Geraniums. I have sort of thought of Geranium only as cluster flowers, while indeed the single flowers are really pretty!

You may use the Petrine Wiik Collection images too, for your personal artwork, click on my badge below to download images from the collection:

I love your seed catalog series. Keep of the beautiful, creative work.
I totally agree these catalogs are really beautiful, and thanks sooo much for sharing all these goodies here with us always. I really hope, I´ll be able to sit down and make a huge frame with all these and my entire family in them, when we get back, as I know exactly who´s going into which frame, Soo beautiful these frames are, You are such a clever lady to make these things. I absolutely love these.
