Karen obtains her images from quite a few different sources including: friends, archived sources, auctions, estate sales, antique shops, flea markets and antique shows.
She has been an antique dealer for about 18 years and has collected paper from all over. Most of her local friends are antique dealers also and they often bring her things or let her know when things pop up at the antique shop where she sells her wares. She told me that she loves sharing her collections with her friends and readers. Her Blog is an amazing resource to find some of the most beautiful images around. She recently posted her 800th Post, so imagine how many images you can find by visiting her Blog. I am posting my 10 favorite images, but her Blog features OVER 70 categories, so you can find images on everything imaginable... Thank you for your generosity Karen! I so enjoy visiting your Blog, I get so much inspiration from it and thank you for letting me share with my readers some of my favorite images. I know you usually allow only four images in a post and I really wanted to be able to show at least ten, so that I could capture more of your selection.
