Dreaming of black and white.

I have always loved black and white ~ has such a vivid and classic look and is always really appealing.
It makes me think of Coco Chanel, the newspaper, old movies and lovely old photographs
from days gone by.

Here are a few black and white images ~

    Mei Ling is so precious! Ah, black and white. So timeless, so classy. That's part of why I'm so attracted to pen and ink drawings, too. Beautiful photos!

    Thank you Bella.
    I love black and white drawings too, they just seem to stand out better.

    Hi Laura,

    Thanks for visiting and I hope that you have settled back, after your holiday.

    Hi Kim,

    Yes, black and white toile always looks lovely.

    Hi Carol,

    I thought the black and white checkered bike was cute, it was from the 1900's.

    Hugs
