Clip Art: Fancy Pants Flourishes

Guild from Bella Figura

Could you love a flourish anymore than this...I LOVE a flourish. The only thing I love more than a flourish is a flourish with birds. I am smitten...truly. They say the first step to recovery is admitting you have a problem. Houston, we have a problem.

Actually, we have several problems. The biggest being the price tag for this loveliness from Bella Figura. But not to worry! It's like buying a new car. First you fall in love and then you see the price of your desire and realize your on a budget- a tight budget. So, what's a budget saavy bride, with a penchant for a fancy flourish, and a bird or two to do? Clever, clever girl that you are - you will think...clip art! Yep. Fancy, Fabulous and F-R-E-E. My favorite three words...ever!

Peas and Carriage...

. . . we used to operate under the misguided impression that the world was flat and if you sailed to the end you would simply fall off. Now we know the world goes round and round just like a new moms washing machine full of baby bibs covered in strained peas and milk.

Rattle and Hum...



. . . and all that jazz.

On cloud nine...



. . . new parents welcome.
