Yesterday I shared some printable Printable Grain Sack Images with you and I promised that today I’d share some projects I created with these images. This image, from my very favorite grain sack, makes the perfect background for several projects. The first project I made with it is a pennant banner with the word “Family”, but you can add any word you’d like to your banner. I cropped a portion of the image, then had it printed at a photo center into inexpensive 4×6 {Read More}

I love old grain sacks (well, who doesn’t?!), but they aren’t always easy to find at reasonable prices.

You can use these images over and over without spending a fortune! You are welcome to use any of {Read More}

Antique Graphics Wednesday – 3 Dress Form Images
September 26, 2012 by 5 Comments
These 3 wonderful images of dress forms are from the early 1900’s and were sent to me by Audrey @ Timeless Treasures. This one was in an ad in a 1911 “The Modern Priscilla” magazine and is a Hall-Borchert adjustable dress form. Click on image to enlarge I’ve removed all of the background from it, so if you use programs like Photoshop or Gimp, you can layer it over other images, like this. The next two images both came from {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}

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}

I’ve come across some wonderful music for autumn and Halloween that are just in time for some fall crafting. The first 2 are from a 1908 school songbook called, “American School Songs”.

Antique Graphic Pillows
August 30, 2012 by 28 Comments
Every week I share antique images and graphics with you, but I rarely get around to actually doing anything with them myself, so I asked my mom if she would sew some pillow covers that I could add some images to. (Thanks, Mom!) It was fun looking through the images I’ve posted and selecting a few of my favorites. I don’t recommend using regular iron-on transfer paper like you get at craft stores. I experimented with it before putting any {Read More}
