I had mentioned during my video tutorial, in the comments, that I had used Amy Krause Rosenthal’s book Cookies to decorate my kitchen. But I also wanted to share these illustrations which I found at the same antique store as the illustrations for the dolls. Children’s books have the most enchanting and colorful images and I love them so much I want to see them all the time, even after my children have outgrown the books.

These come from a Peter Pan book from quite a while back, but as the pages were loose I couldn’t find what edition they are from nor the date. To display these as art I matted them and framed them in simple and inexpensive frames. When hung next to some more legitimate wall art they do not stand out at all as having come from a book, and they cost next to nothing. I defnitely prefer this to buying cheapy mass produced art from the craft store to display, and if you purchase a book that is currently for sale, like Cookies, you have to buy a second copy to replace the one you’ve cut up and displayed. The author likes that, I’m sure!
