View Verse of the Day I’m still on a roll creating banners with old book pages and have a few more I plan to design soon, but I wanted to share the most recent one with you, and provide you with a printable so you can easily create your own, with whatever word(s) you want on it. I love the look of old book pages, so I choose antique Bible pages and used a stencil for both the “frame” and {Read More}
A Theme for Thursday – {Baskets}
September 20, 2012 by 30 Comments
I love baskets of all types – wicker baskets, wooden baskets, metal baskets, but I love turning things into baskets that didn’t start out that way. I brought home several new “baskets” from the flea market recently, so they have become my latest “theme”. For example, this “basket” was originally used by fishermen, the wire and patina make it perfect to bring in from the lake to the house. Do you know what this is? It was a horse muzzle, {Read More}

Antique Milk Bottle Caps – Royalty Free Printables
September 19, 2012 by 19 Comments
I love old milk bottles and their printed caps have such a wholesome, yesteryear look, so I thought it would be fun to share a few I have with you. The nice thing about having the image of the real thing is that although milk caps are small, you can take the image and make it much larger, so there are a lot of projects you could use the images for. I like the red, white and blue colors on {Read More}

GIVEAWAY – Packaways Reusable Plastic Storage Boxes {3 Winners!}
September 17, 2012 by 44 Comments
When the people of Packaways contacted me, asking me to review their storage containers, there were 3 reasons I was thrilled and the timing couldn’t have been better: 1) My husband’s parents & my parents are coming to visit – one after the other and my house isn’t near ready for company. I’ve got a lot of junk to hide! 2) My college son may have moved to the dorm, but a bunch of his stuff remains here that needs to {Read More}
Printable Recipe Cards & Antique Graphic for Iron-on Transfer
September 15, 2012 by 16 Comments
I may not love to cook, but I do love this domestically sweet image of a woman making custard. It was from a 1910 advertisement for Kingsford’s Corn Starch sent to me by Audrey @ Timeless Treasures. I liked it so well, I decided to create some recipe cards and a flour sack towel with the image. The background for the recipe cards is from an antique ledger page. I’ve removed all the background from the image, so it can be {Read More}
{Press On}
September 14, 2012 by 14 Comments
My daughter and I went to the flea market last weekend, and I found quite a few little goodies, including this old iron cooling rest. It only cost 50 cents and since we are just starting the remodeling of our laundry room, I thought this would make a fitting decoration for the room. I wanted to do something fun with it, and a verse from Philippians 3:14 popped into my head, so I used some Scrabble tiles to form the words, {Read More}
A Theme for Thursday – {banners}
September 13, 2012 by 10 Comments
I said last week that I planned to choose a theme that would somewhat dictate what projects I would work on, but the theme for the week just seemed to come unplanned. I showed you this spur-of-the-moment banner I made for my family photo shoot. And I had already made this bunting from some antique pages. Then, I had a request by a customer to create a word banner for a baby shower. While batting around ideas with her, I found {Read More}
Antique Graphics Wednesday – 2 Pocket Watch Images
September 12, 2012 by 3 Comments
Since I shared clock face images with you earlier today, I thought I’d share pocket watch graphics also. Both of these images were part of advertisements in a 1906 Ladies Home Journal magazine that was sent to me by Audrey @ Timeless Treasures. She knows how much I love old images and she sent me a HUGE stack of a variety of incredible magazines. I look forward to sharing many, many of the images found in them with you. If {Read More}
