  1. Oooh I'd forgotten about Rene Cloke - her paintings are beautiful and this one is lovely. I googled her to see if I could find some more examples of her work and came across this blog - http://loverforbooks.blogspot.com/ You probably know it already as it seems very popular - it has lovely illustrations and snippets on books.

    What an absolutely beautiful blog thank you for the link. Did you see the picture of the puppy being born? If you click on the last photo it takes you to another beautiful blog. I collect anything by Rene Cloke - books, postcards, painting books, soap dishes! There are about 300 items in my collection including a few original art works. I want to share some of it on the blog, it's just a matter of finding the time.

  8. I like getting into the spirit early! These postcards are adorable and just so sweet. I especially love the one with the fairies- but I love fairies. Thanks for sharing these. I like the idea of sending Valentine's postcards!

    Sending Valentine’s greetings by postcard does seem to be a thing of the past, it’s a shame.
