Is anyone else out there ga-ga over vintage pharmacy labels? I absolutely love them, but they are often a little small, so it’s hard to use them in noticeable home decor, but here are some enlarged versions that can be printed out for your use. I love the shape and typography on this one. This one is from the same pharmacy. I LOVE the typography on this one! Here are all 3 images as a letter size page printable. Just right-click, save and print. You’ll {Read More}

January 5, 2013 by 17 Comments
Since the first bathroom we remodeled is officially the “ladies’ room”, our other bathroom that is undergoing remodeling will officially be the “guys’ room”. I knew I wanted to decorate it with either a medical theme, or a barber theme…or both. While in the “ladies’ room”, doing some magazine browsing, I came across an article from Country Living magazine about collectible antique barber shop items and saw this antique barber sign, advertising the prices for services rendered.

Printable Antique Butter Box
January 4, 2013 by 15 Comments
I picked up a beautifully aged antique butter box a few weeks ago and have created a printable of it, so you can make your own.

I bought 3 of this style of chair at an auction. This one had a broken seat, and the other 2 only had seats – no back rests. Originally I thought maybe I could combine 2 of them to get 1 complete {Read More}

Welcome back to Knick of Time Tuesday.I’m glad you came by to ring in the New Year with me! Before we start the party, I wanted to share this wonderful 100 year old New Year’s image that came from the cover of a 1913 Comfort magazine. It’s quite tattered and worn, but after 100 years, that’s to be expected. I love it! This cover was generously sent to me by Audrey @ Timeless Treasures, so be sure to hop {Read More}
