I'm so happy you are loving art nouveau as much as I do. Here is some more eye candy.
This is called Allegory of Love and is in Germany but I failed to note the artist and can't locate it again.
This is an interior, location unknown.
Look at this beautiful church which is on the grounds of a psychiatric hospital in Vienna.

Flu popped up & some free poppies
Bad pun in header but hubby and I have been down with the flu or something like. We were out Tuesday from early morning to afternoon on business, picked up some lunch and came home. Both of us felt extremely tired. I slept about five hours and when I got up, my husband had already made and consumed his share of dinner. I wasn't hungry at all but so thirsty. Before long, my husband was complaining of flu like symptoms. He got through it all in about 24 hrs or less. I didn't. Today is first day I've been symptom free just a little weak as might be expected. But enough about that.
Today's zip has a poppy theme:

Another gloomy February day and freebie
I'm not complaining about the gloom really. February seems to be when we get the worst weather - cold and snowy. Today it's just a matter of changing temperatures and light drizzle. Yesterday was 72! Today 40. Going to be a quiet day devoted to some house cleaning with a break to watch VCU basketball - provided it's locally televised. It upsets me that the local networks will show games from less than stellar basketball colleges out of state and not run some of the games from Virginia Commonwealth University which is only about 2 hours away. Hubby says it probably has to do with contracts with various networks.
Anyway, I thought I'd share something a little different - but still art nouveau - with you today. I love the old postcards about birthstones and such and find it interesting to see how what we think of as designated birthstones and birth month flowers have changed over the years. My favorite of these are the cards I'm going to show you today. these originally had verses on them but in most cases the copies I have were redone as posters without the verses. I should have started this in January but didn't think of it then so today I'll give you January and February.
And here are some purple doors:
I wouldn't have thought purple would be such a popular door color.
And today's zip:

Happy Valentine's Day & freebie
Hope today finds you happy. I imagine many people will be going out to celebrate Valentine's Day. From today through the weekend, it's going to be busy in restaurants everywhere. We decided to avoid all that and will be eating in. After you've been married for awhile, you put less emphasis on holidays.
Anyway, today I have some sweet pink for you:

Month nearly hald gone! Freebie
Hard to believe February is almost gone! Finished up root canal yesterday and doing well today. Still, being a little careful. Had lunch with my retiree group today. Did not like the Mexican restaurant we met in; don't much care for Mexican food anyway, but this was poor and service bad. Still, we had space to sit and gab and we did for about 3 hours! I'm running late starting dinner so will just make this short today.
Just realized I'd already given you this journal card -- oops!

City with most Art Nouveau architecture & freebie
I recently learned that Riga, Latvia is said to be the city with the most art nouveau architecture anywhere. Naturally, I decided to look on-line to see what I might find. Lots of intricately detailed buildings! Here are a few pics I found on Google.
Impressive, yes?
And now zip 13. Chrysanthemums were quite popular, so we must have some:
