I wish I could remember where I got this image, but I scanned it, labeled it as the year 1871, then forgot to share it with you. Anyway, I’m rather partial to old cow images, and think they make great art for transferring to fabric, for the kitchen or to put on pillows. I’ve removed the background, so you can layer this image over other images. I have a somewhat funny story about longhorn cattle with you. When we lived in New {Read More}

Antique Graphics Wednesday – Early 1900’s Ivory Soap Ads
February 6, 2013 by 8 Comments
Ivory Soap used to produce some of the most beautiful advertisements. Part of my fascination with old advertisements, is seeing which companies have stood the test of time and are still in existence, as Ivory Soap has. This image came from 1908, although I’m not sure which magazine it was published in. I also find it interesting that they didn’t create so many products to do every single household chore. The same soap you could use on your body, you {Read More}

Antique Graphics Wednesday – Ice Coupon Checks & the History Behind Them
January 23, 2013 by 9 Comments
I love the crisp color and graphics on these little coupon checks that were issued by the Stillwell Cold Storage Co. in Hannibal, Missouri. These coupons came 4 to a page, in sets of 10 pages in a booklet. This is the cover of the booklet. A little fascinating detail about this company: The Stillwell Cold Storage Co. was owned by a very wealthy Hannibal resident, named Amos Stillwell, who initially made his fortune in the pork packing industry and {Read More}

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}
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 love finding things like this that were meant to be disposed of (and usually were). Generally, if you can find them, it’s because the were unused stock, left in an old business. My original box is extremely fragile and is missing one of the side flaps, so I did a little digital editing to fix it. Here’s the {Read More}

I just stumbled upon this adorable image from the remnants of an early 1900’s reader. I love the inclusion of the American flag as ornaments and as the tree topper. Here’s the image with the background removed, so it can be layered over other images. Blessings, Angie View Verse of the Day Due to unethical websites stealing content, I can no longer provide a full RSS feed.
