I was so pleased to acquire this pretty Jewish New Year card! I have a hard time finding Jewish images, they are not very plentiful, and often pricey, and I never see them locally. So it was a treat for me to get this one and it's so lovely too! I know the timing isn't quite right, but I'm including a copy with out the Hebrew so that it can be used for this week as well. This one has a sweet Swallow Bird, flying with an Envelope. He's framed with some pretty blue Forget Me Nots!

Swoon! I'm in love with this one!!! This one dates to 1883. Originally I had bought a book that had this image on the cover, but since the cover was leather and the image was in gold, I couldn't really extract it very cleanly. Not long afterwards though, I came across a series of paper magazines (they were companions to the book) that had this same image on them, only this time it was in black on a paper cover! Yay! I did a happy dance that day!! Anyway, here it is a marvelous Silhouette showing a a Bird perched on some Vines, with a Lyre base! Fabulous!! I hope you like it as I much as I do!

In other News: I've also made a Transfer Printable for this image over on my DIY Blog, in 2 different colors, you can find it HERE. This is a nice large file that you can use for your Home Decor projects!
