A couple of months ago I stumbled across a set of eight pages from a herbarium book from the early 1900’s on eBay. Originally I was only looking for a set of four prints to frame for the upstairs bathroom but when I came across this set I figured I could find a spot for the rest of the pages. I was so delighted when I actually won the auction because I thought they would surely go for a lot of money. The set of eight including shipping was $30…..however framing the pages cost a whole lot more so I had to do a few at a time.
Here are two of the pages I framed hung in the living room…..
Each one has a hand written description of the plant and the date……

These are so simple and beautiful, and they look so nice in your lovely home. I know how expensive frames can be!!!
Just gorgeous! You framed them beautifully!
These are beautiful and they are framed just perfect. Well worth the money spent on the right frame, in my opinion.

Those are just gorgeous! They look so pretty in your white room. They are soft enough to flow nicely in there. What a great find!
So pretty Des!! They look beautiful where you have them!
Very pretty, Des. I think finding the right things for the wall is the hardest thing. Don't you? I want the things I hang to mean something to me and hopefully not be mass produced. I love your idea. What did you look for when you were on Ebay?
Their simplicit and soft coloring is so elegant!
Very pretty Des! I like herbariums and botanicals just about anywhere. I've got a couple in my living room ~ their simplicity and softness is what I enjoy most.
