My newest book (my 18th!) is also my third adult coloring book! This one is of vintage seed packets. When my brothers and I were small, we loved to go to South Carolina to see our Mom's family. They were loving and funny, and there were a LOT of them! It was a small town (St. George), and it was amazing to think that we were probably related to EVERYBODY in town! Our grandfather had a small farm, and our grandmother was a flower aficionado. The farm was mostly chickens and a couple cows, but there was, of course, the inevitable Southern garden. Our grandmother loved flowers, and she was in the Rosebud Garden Club, St. George, SC. My brothers and cousins and I loved to go to the hardware or feed store with our grandparents and pick out our favorite vegetable and flower packets for "Papa" or "Mummie" to plant.I love these beautiful old images on the seed packets. I still think that the seed packets are really little works of art. They have beautiful colors and shapes. Back then, we thought that they were so pretty that we just had to have them to plant.These seed packets are mostly from the first two decades of the twentieth century with a few before that. My grandmother was born in 1903, so the ones right around the turn of the century make me think of my Great-grandmother. She didn't die until I was 17, so I knew her very, very well. In my mind's eye, I see her and my grandmother planting these seeds in their garden. In this book, you will find on each left-hand page a copy of the original, colored picture. On the facing page, that colored picture has been transformed into a pencil drawing for you to color, either in the same colors as the original or in any fanciful hues you might like. I really loved putting this coloring book together! I hope you enjoy it too!
