(click on these images to view full size) Here are several images from advertisements for beauty products, from a 1913 The Modern Priscilla magazine. I always like ads that showed what the packaging looked like. This pretty image looks like a woman primping in front of her mirror, but in fact, it was an advertisement for soap that prevented “blemishes”…pimples! I did some editing, to remove the pimple from her face!Here’s the original ad (with pimple!). I absolutely love this {Read More}

Sonday – {Higher Ground} Antique Hymn Page Printable
April 21, 2013 by 6 Comments
I’ve always liked this old hymn, but it took on new meaning for my family, and especially our animals last week. Heavy rains brought flooding to our area. We woke up on Thursday morning discover that the little creek behind our property had overflowed, flooding our pasture…where our 2 horses were. For our larger Quarter Horse, it wasn’t too bad, but for our little miniature horse (seen in the distance), it was up to her belly in some places. Thankfully, {Read More}
Dictionary Pages Pennant Banners
April 18, 2013 by 18 Comments
Yesterday I promised that I’d share the printables for the DIY Dictionary Pages Pennant Banners I used to decorate my Wooden Mantel Backdrops. I always get excited when I find books that have that aged, darkened color that looks so pretty, but the drawback is the pages are usually very fragile and brittle, making it difficult to use them for craft projects. To solve that problem, I scan the images on very high resolution, then make copies of them, which {Read More}
Rustic Mantle Backdrops
April 17, 2013 by 44 Comments
Inspiration is rarely a problem for me. In fact, my problem is usually having too much inspiration and not knowing when to quit. That wasn’t the case last week. I started out with what I thought was a great idea. I have these wonderful antique tongue and groove boards that I always turn into coat racks, but I felt like doing something different with some of them. I thought I’d connect several together and turn them into barn door style {Read More}
Antique Graphics Wednesday – Earth Image
April 17, 2013 by 2 Comments
As Earth Day is next week, I thought I’d share this image of the earth, surrounded by some clouds. It was on the cover page of this 1911 Rand McNally atlas. Here’s the image with the background removed. Blessings, Angie View Verse of the Day Due to unethical websites stealing content, I can no longer provide a full RSS feed. I work too hard to produce original and inspiring content to have it stolen by others. Thank you for your {Read More}

Printable Greeting Tags with Antique Floral Images
April 14, 2013 by 9 Comments
A few weeks ago, I brought home a very small German book that appears to be from the early 1900’s. I believe it was a daily Bible devotional book. In this book were several beautiful little color pages with a floral motif and a scripture verse on each one. I’ve removed the German text from the images and turned them into printable tags that would look really pretty attached to a gift or a bouquet of flowers. I always save {Read More}
