I'm sure many of you have seen the work of Jessie Wilcox Smith. I just had to feature this wonderful artist. I love her work and her illustrations of children are just precious ~
Love Jessie Wilcox Smith...I had some of her prints framed in my daughter's nursery...17 years ago!!! I also love Eloise Wilkin...she did a number of illustrations for Golden Books...both of these ladies capture life when it was so much more "simply"...and seemingly "right"...
Oh, I agree! I have collected cards from her prints & have framed them & have had them for years. I never tire of them. Classics - absolutely adorable classics. xo, Bren
Thanks for sharing these lovely pictures! The one of the girl with a pink bow in her hair on the beach is so precious--I've never seen it before! I love Jessie Wilcox Smith's art--as others have said, it certainly brings to mind the joys of an old-fashioned childhood.
My name is Dawn Edmonson. I'm a wife for 42 years to the same wonderful man, mother to five amazing sons ranging in age from 40 to 25 years old and grandmother to three precious girls and two sweet boys.
I love to create one-of-a-kind artwork to sell in my Etsy shop. I enjoy keeping up with my blog and am amazed at the inspiration I get from others blogs and sweet comments that are left for me. I am drawn to all things old, with plenty of character and enjoy using small, antique trinkets in my artwork. Being able to create is truly my bliss.

My MIL has a picture by her, I think called "My Kitten"...a little girl holding a black cat. I've always loved that picture.
This was the first time I have see other Jessie pictures and they are wonderful!
