These are bright and colorful, but still lovely vintage images. Enjoy them, I'll be back tomorrow with my last installment of bridal images, for now...
Oh - and don't forget JBS Mercantile August Kits and the Gallery will debut tomorrow night at midnight. Here is a peek at just some of my contributions to the gallery this month. Full reveal tomorrow.

"You can hardly think of anything more joyous in life, than to live with her in some old castle, very far away from steamboats, and post-offices, and pick wild geraniums for her hair; and read poetry with her, under the shade of very dark ivy vines. And you would have such a charming boudoir in some corner of the old ruin, with a harp in it, and books bound in gilt, with cupids on the cover. And when the minister reads off marriage announcements in the church, you think how it will sound one of these days, to have your name, and hers, read from the pulpit; --- and how prettily she will blush..." (Donald Grant Mitchell, Reveries of a Bachelor, 1850)
Here are the bridal images I have chosen for April, May and June. Enjoy!

Here's January, February and March, in order:
