Morning coffee in the Violet Parlor. Looks like that original chromolith that I call: “Harem Girl” is going to join my group of Victorian brunette naughties here at #11…she is lovely ❤️ Largish vintage print is coming down and Harem Girl will take that place.

No front porch pictures because Adam gets here Tuesday, so a selfie it is:
