here are some lovely images from desire to inspire

bessie pease gutmann

I love her artwork!
She had a way of capturing the innocence and wonder of babies and children.
Bessie lived from 1876-1960 and she attended the Philadelphia School of Design for Women; the same school Jessie Willcox Smith had attended ten years earlier. She started her career with commissioned work and was later inspired by her own children Alice, Lucille, and John. I found this particular print and it reminded me of someone so close to me......

happy birthday small bear

dear brock,
your mum and daddy love you more than anything else in this world.
you are a joy to us, a shining star in our lives and you make us happier than we could have ever imagined!
here's to another magical year filled with adventure, magic, love, daydreams, playing, giggles, hugs, kisses, and whimsy.
love you to the moon and back!
