This “Hearth and Home” image is the cover illustration of a magazine from 1914.   I love the fire in the hearth burning in the center and the snoozing dog. I think the typography would make a pretty sign. The first one is the original aged color tone.    The next two images I’ve altered the color tone.  Click on images to enlarge.

Nothing was safe from getting stenciled this week. I picked up a few new sets of stencils and couldn’t resist putting words on anything that couldn’t escape me. I started off stenciling pages for the “GIVE THANKS” banner I showed you HERE (and you can print the pages).Available in the shop to purchase HERE. Next, I thought I’d “LIVE LIFE” on the industrial sideby painting a few old metal drawers.Available in the shop HERE. This one is sure to bring some {Read More}

I love this wonderful border showing a variety of sewing notions.  This image came from a 1913 magazine called, “The Modern Priscilla” that was sent to me by Audrey @ Timeless Treasures. Thank you, Audrey! This graphic was used as the header of a column in the magazine called, “The Home Dressmaker”, which provided patterns and instructions for a variety of garments.   I think it would be perfect for stationary or business cards. To see all the past images I’ve {Read More}

One of my favorite things about driving back country roads, is coming across old country churches. My daughter and I went to the flea market  WAYYYY out in the country a few weeks ago, and saw a few wonderful, old rural churches. I couldn’t tell whether this one still holds services or not,but it sure is a beauty. A 127 year old Baptist church sits right behind the Methodist church, offering services only on the first 2 Sundays each month. {Read More}

I’ve got a bit of a fetish for old wooden tool handles and have fun finding ways to use & display them.Some of the small ones end up in potted plants.A green plant makes a nice contrast to the wood handles. I love this ice pick with advertising from an old, local ice company. This tool has a curved blade on it and was froma fruit and produce company. The most unusual handles in my home are 2 that came {Read More}

Thanks so much for letting me cry on your shoulders yesterday, about my oldest son moving into the dorm at college. During another of my teary-eyed spells before he left, he gave me a hug and said, “Why do I get the feeling I’m the only adult in this room?” He knows how to humor me. It seems fitting in my struggle against how quickly time is passing, that I won a box full of old, non-working travel clocks at {Read More}
