The postcard above, which features the work of German expressionist painter Gabriele Münter, was one of the first I received for International Women’s Day/Women’s History Month. It came from my Love Notes friend, Eileen V. In honor of our sharing flowers with other women throughout the world, Eileen added another “flower.” She affixed to the … Continue reading Speaking in Flowers: In Front of a Window
March is over, but I still have a stimulating bunch of woman-centered art/words/postcards to share! Here’s a sneak peek at most of the yellow and purple flower postcards I received for Women’s History Month.
