Decorative Artist Jo-Anne Coletti specializes in everything Roses, and has a special fondness for beautiful things that are faded, worn and well loved. She looks to old Rose paintings for her inspiration in all of her work and finds that things from the past were made with elegance, care and detail. For over a decade, Jo-Anne's passion for art has turned into a thriving business. Named after her love of roses, Vintage Rose Collection specializes in painting of antique items, vintage furniture, old and used objects, as well as floral wall painting and cottage style decorating. 
I adore vintage papiers so much with their fanciful script and lovely sentiments. I wanted to add a little something special to my own collection of old papiers- torn along the edges and discolored with age. This one dates 1893. I have embellished this one with hand painted cream roses, ribbon and string. This lovely poem reads-
Could you have seen the violets, that blossomed in her eyes. Could you have kissed that golden hair and drank those holy sighs. Oh you'd have been her tiring maid as joyfully as I. Content to dress your little queen and let the world go by...
Measures- 10x7 3/4.
