I have been spending way too much time on ebay lately. I love watching and bidding on the antique botanical prints. I never win any auctions because I am so cheap, but I finally won one... This is a rare 1901 Botanical chromolithograph from the NYS Fish and Game Commission annual report. I love it.

Mary Ann, I love botanical prints and also bid a lot on ebay for them. Haven't won any yet, this print is gorgeous!
Thanks! So you're my competition:) Surprisingly I was the only bidder on this and paid only 4.99 for it.
It's beautiful. What exactly is a chromolithograph?
I'd love your next blog to have a picture of your pool with sunny AZ in the background. I'm desperately missing my old home.

Natasha, you must be talking about our pool with all the dead palm trees around it. Everything is dead here, it looks so sad. I can't complain about the lovely 78 degree weather. I'll try to post one soon:) Alicia, a lithograph is the old-fashioned way of making a copy. Uses a technique similar to a rubber stamp, but back then I think they used stone. It was the color copying method of the 1800's.
78 degrees! My boys would be out in their play pool. I'm going to plan a trip there next Febuary.
