Pictured here are 2 of my favorite vintage finds. I found these two floral prints by Paul de Longpre at one of my favorite antique shops. They are pages from a calender dated 1911.
When I found them, they were just the prints in plastic wrap. I thought that they'd be perfect in my green & pink kitchen, so I had them framed. They now hang proudly in a corner of the kitchen between a bathroom & the dining room. They look great on the green walls & blend nicely with my collection of vintage floral painted dishes.
Here you can see the calender part of the prints. One print represented May/June and the other represented July/August. I would love to see the rest of the prints from that calender, I am sure they were just as beautiful.

Your prints are beautiful! I was lucky enough to find a de longpre print at an estate sale. I need to paint the frame white like yours though. It really sets off those prints.
Have a wonderful Pink Saturday and a Happy New Year!!
LOL LOL Just found a gift from you to me...under the tree...LOL too funny!

Happy Pink Saturday! Your pictures are so pretty. I notice that you also follow Stephanie's blog at queen of dreamsz. Do you see her blog updates when you are on your Dashboard page? I don't and we are trying to figure out why that is. So we are curious if others have the same problem.
Great finds I can see why you got them. I have a weekness for vintage paper things!
Happy Pink Saturday!

Beautiful pinks! It was wonderful to take time to "smell the roses"! There is nothing more beautiful than a "re-purposed " vintage treasure! Love the frames!
I have always loved his paintings and this calendar art is just PERFECT for your lovely green walls. What a wonderful find...

Your slide show is very beautiful and clever too. I do love the Paul de Longpre prints. The were framed perfectly for your kitchen colors.
Hugs...Jeanne
Those prints are lovely! You are so clever to recognize how pretty they would be all framed. I sure would love to see the rest of the kitchen!!

Your prints are just beautiful. Happy belated Pink Saturday and have a lovely week..
Your prints are lovely. I have a whole book of rose prints by this artist. I have ment to do something with them, like you so smartly did, but it seems there is always something else to do first!
Thanks for visiting my blog!!
Happy New Year!
