I just adore this pretty picture. I found it at the local thrift store (of course) for 12.99. Too much or too little? I wasn't quite sure where I would put her and even though she hangs on one wall, she may be moved again. I love the way her red lipstick stands out so much. Very pretty. Recently, while looking at past issues of 'Romantic Country', I found an article about a beautiful home who had two similar ones. I thought that was kind of neat! I didn't buy her because what she could or wouldn't be worth, but because.....it was a romantic picture to me. A picture of a young lady in love. A time of gentlemen, romance and courtship.

I actually think that is a GOOD price...have you SEEN the prices for art alone, without a frame? Ya, you did good.
My show and tell is posted now. Come by if you can find time. See you there! Happy Friday, happy show n tell day.
What a beautiful picture and I think you paid just the right price.
What a great find. I love saved antique items.
It's so pretty!
This is my favorite type of art, romantic! What an awesome frame too! I can't wait to see where you put her!
Very pretty picture and I think that's a good price. Mmmm....is the painting called Tavern on the Green? Thats a restaraunt in NYC.

Beautiful picture. Frame is as well.
Wendy, The price doesn't matter if you love the picture(as you do). Great find. It is so very romantic and mysterious. Enjoy!
I love that pictures. I don't think it is too pricey. It has a very lovely Victorian look about it. Thank you for sharing your treasure with us.

Hi Wendy,
Wow, I have two pictures that look VERY similar to yours (not exactly the same poses) but they really do look like the same artist! I will have to post them and have you compare. :)
It's a beautiful picture, my Mother collects that type and has many, I think the price is good and a great bargain if you wanted it.
What a beautiful bloggie home you have Wendy!
Have a wonderful weekend!

That is a lovely picture, and it has such a pretty frame too!
Like you, I don't purchase things for what they are "worth", but rather because I like them!
:)
I have that same picture but I bought it unframed. I love it in that white frame. Now i'll have to look for one like that.
Hi, I could not believe it your picture has the same lady that are in two of my flower market prints. I bought them 20 years ago at a garage sale. My frames are made from a type of plaster. If you go to my tea parlor pictures they are above my piano
I really like this picture too! Thanks for sharing and thanks for your comment on my blog. Have a great day!
