I’m on a bit of a milk cap kick lately, and each month I’m a contributor at My Repurposed Life where I’m sharing how I turned some of my collection of caps into kitchen wall art that does double duty as refrigerator magnets. Pop over and visit me there for the tutorial! This book plate showing 2 kinds of owls is from the same 1920’s book as some other bird images I’ve shared in the past, and has 2 owls – a {Read More}

I’ve got a new batch of dairy milk cap images for you today! Those of you who have visited my blog for awhile know I love old dairy milk bottle caps. I just can’t resist them, and I’ve brought home quite a few new ones in the last few weeks that I thought you would like. Tomorrow I’ll be sharing a project idea that I made with one of these images, so be sure to save them to your computer now! 🙂
Vintage Bread Bakery Advertisement

I’ve been cleaning like a mad woman for the last several days, in anticipation of m parents visit. I always worry about them making the long drive, but they arrived safely this afternoon, and it’s nice to finally sit down and just relax with them. I’m looking forward to the next two weeks, and have several projects I hope my mom will help me work on! This old bread bakery advertisement came from the same 1920’s high school yearbook as {Read More}
September Music Page Printable

A few days ago, I was waiting for my son to get done at an event at our local library, so I passed the time looking around in the used bookstore the library operates to get rid of books that no longer get checked out often. Hardback books were all marked down, so I quickly scanned the shelves for old ones, and found a school music book from the early 1900’s. When I opened the cover, the very first song {Read More}
Printable Vintage Shipping Tag & a Freebie for You!
September 10, 2015 by 10 Comments
A few weeks ago when I was shopping in an antique store, I found a bag full of unused, old stock vintage shipping tags. You’ll probably recognize the red checkerboard pattern on them, as being from the Purina company, and it was that design that made me snatch them up! Because the Purina company is still in existence (and I don’t want to get sued), I’ve added my watermark so it can’t be printed, but I wanted you to see {Read More}

Autumn will be here soon, so I have a pretty autumn printable for you. It’s an antique sheet music page, called “Breath of Autumn”, that came from a 1920’s magazine for musicians. There are so many projects this could be used on, like a greeting card, or as part of mantle decor. Enjoy! {CLICK ON IMAGE TO ENLARGE} If you use it to create a project, be sure to share it on my Reader Features page HERE. You can find more free printable antique sheet {Read More}
Antique Grocery Can Label

I have a “thing” for old labels, and I found the most charming grocery can label a few weeks ago, at an antique store in my son’s college town. The colors are super bright and vivid, and there are really sweet images on each side of the label. One side has an image or corn and a tomato and the other side shows a log cabin in the wilderness. Just print it and wrap it around one of your empty {Read More}
Antique Clothing Store Advertisement

One of my antique store finds last week was a yearbook from our local high school from the 1920’s. In the back of the yearbook is a “businessman’s section”with advertisements for local businesses. Obviously in the 1920’s women didn’t own many businesses to place an advertisement in the yearbook. Times sure have changed,haven’t they? It was interesting to see a few businesses that are still operating in my city,but most of them are gone now. All of the banks that {Read More}
Back to School – Antique Calendar Graphics

Have your kids started back to school yet? Most of the schools in my area are back in session, but I ease back into schoolwork slowly with my son, working on just a few subjects until our homechool co-op resumes classes at the beginning of September. I’ll be teaching a writing class for the high school kids in our group this year, so I’m gearing up for that class and hoping it goes well. I came across some graphics I’ve never shared before, {Read More}
Antique Flour Sack Printable Images

The small town where my son goes to college only has 1 antique store, but I always check it out when we’re there. Most things are a bit pricey, but I keep my eye out for small, less expensive items, and I found one I loved. It’s a very small antique flour sack. It had a paper tag envelope still attached to it, which explains that the sack held just a sample amount of King’s Castle flour, and originally included recipes which could be {Read More}
