Don't you just L*O*V*E the illustrations of Eloise Wilkin?They remind me of the sweet, gentle time childhood should be.
I love the peachy pink of his little cheeks, the freckles are pure bliss!
In honor of all the Dads out there...Happy Father's Day!

She was one of my favorites, along with Garth Williams, who I had the pleasure of meeting and chatting with at a book signing in Walnut Grove (yes, Little House on the Prairie Walnut Grove)These artists are part of everyone's childhood memories! I've saved all these books for my future grandchildren!!
I just love her work! I have been collecting "Little Golden Books" for years. Her pictures were always my favorites.

Oh my goodness, LillySue, I didn't know of this illustrator. Maybe because I don't have children. Her work is just lovely, beautifully done! Thank you for sharing her with us. Happy Pink Saturday!
