A lot of details to admire on these cards! Thank you Caijsa for sharing! Happy weekend. :)
You chose two themes, actually! I love your selection, especially the Finnish painting.
What super paintings. They make me want to get my paints out - especially that first, pastel one.
Really great postcards. The paintings are beautiful. As a person who always had a book in her hands as I child, I really enjoyed these!
Some lovely paintings of daily life although the thought of a workhouse for children is sad.
Lovely cards!
