I’m a sucker for anything antique-ish. What I mean is that I love those old pictures from the 18th and 19th centuries. I also love seeing those pictures set against different backgrounds. Not just because I’m an antique freak, but because it reminds me of those cool animations that used to come in between clips on the old Monty Python Flying Circus shows.

I found the coolest site in the form of The Gathering Nest. Site owner, Debby Harriettha, creates some of the most beautiful postcards I’ve ever seen. She combines patterns, pictures, and textures together and takes her work beyond that of mere postcards, but works of antiqued art. They’re absolutely gorgeous.

This Libat postcard is the creation and sole property of Debby Henriettha and The Gathering Nest. This image is used with permission from the owner and may not be reproduced without the owners expressed permission.

I can’t post any pictures at this time, but have requested permission to do so. I’m hoping to hear from Deb soon, and if allowed, I’ll post one of the post cards she’s produced.
UPDATE—I’ve received permission from Deb to use one of her pics.  Thanks Deb, I really appreciate this.

I invite you to run over and check out her site. And if you hurry, you can get in on her current giveaway which will run through the 19th of Feb. Winner will be chosen on the 20th. And no, I don’t get another chance of winning by posting this review, I’m only doing this because I think the site is so cool.

If you have a thing for the nostalgic look, you’ve got to check out The Gathering Nest. This site oozes class, beauty, and bit of the odd. I was totally at home. LOL
