Asparagus Ladies

Hmmm...the joy of gardening? 

I'm not going to comment further on this French postcard.

Potted Babies

What seed did this nursery plant?  Note the late to sprout one in the lower right...

The end of school rush is on for me with the art show coming up.  I've been out of  blogging time for the last few days so I have been posting fun oddball stuff that creeps into my files. This image of potted babies is so riveting I couldn't not collect it.  

I did a search for "surreal french postcards" and found quite a few, though only 3 or so related to horticulture.  Quite a few naked ladies in charming poses in surreal settings, too!

I'm throwing this postcard in because it is too odd to waste.  I might use it with my third graders who are learning about perspective tricks...this one in particular - "stuff far away looks smaller, and you place it higher on the paper" :-)

If I Should Plant a Tiny Seed of Love

What could be more appropriate for Valentine's Day?

And if that gentleman's hand should lead to bed...

Graine de bois de lit = Seed of the bedstead = enfant

This is one weird postcard! The tiny one in the chamber pot in the bedside table is most bizarre.

I am fond of this couple. :-)

 This one below reminds me of a Stephen Sondheim moment...

And now some good, honest schmaltz.  

I probably shouldn't mention it to that cherub, but the horseshoe
 is pointing the wrong way...it is letting the luck fall out. Oh dear.
