The Bookish Kind: Victorian Advertisements

Victorian Advertisements - and a Bookish Find

These small paper images are, I believe, old Cracker Jack prizes that I happened on at an antique store - at least they were placed with other such prizes at the store.

The one at the right is a tiny booklet with more images.

Enjoy these Victorian Adverts~

Joy

I will never tire of the wind,
be it a cold winter blast
that takes me off guard
with it's bitterness,
or an exhilarating spring or
fall tempest that sweeps me away.
I get caught up in it every time,
...it's as if the wind is calling
my name to come out and play.
The trees become my cohorts,
...those gentle giants that sway
back and forth with delight,
as they gracefully bend to and
fro - they get caught up every time,
too, and are surely clapping their
hands in mirth.
In these moments, I am a
beautiful bird who was made for nothing more than ascending
to the heights where the currents await me. Joy.

For the beauty of the earth
