Vintage French Postcard 'Fairy' Freebie 1

I am an eclectic collector as I'm sure you will find out with time. One of my favorite collections which is simple & affordable are vintage postcards of children that have been hand-tinted during the Turn of the Century in Paris. I not only love them for there innocence & beauty, but also for their versatility of use. These postcards can be easily found on ebay for just a few $$ (which is amazing to me as most of them are 100 years old) & once scanned can be used for altered art, scrapbooking, tag art, cards, magnets, etc...the possibilities only end when you have exhausted all of them. Here's a few from my own personal collection, I hope you enjoy them & that they make you smile.
