Scrap Wood Table Trivets
March 18, 2015 by 31 Comments
While my husband has been busy installing plank walls in our bedroom, I’ve been like a squirrel gathering nuts, except I’ve been gathering up all the little scrap wood pieces that he’s trimmed off the edges of the boards. I really am starting to think I might have a problem with a capital P when it comes to wood. If I find a piece that is bigger than my thumb, I don’t want to see it end up in the {Read More}
Vintage Wedding Clip Art Graphics
March 15, 2015 by 3 Comments
A few months ago, I found a framed antique certificate of marriage in a thrift store. It always makes me a bit sad to find things like this in a thrift store, because it means either someone didn’t value their family history enough to keep it, or someone died,and there was no one to pass it on to. Either way, I decided to purchase it, because it has several lovely images that could be used as wedding clip art.
Antique Telephone Advertisement

Here’s a wonderful antique telephone advertisement that came from a 1910 The Housekeeper magazine. It would make a wonderful image transfer for a sign (just remember to reverse the image first), or it could be used as-is for decoupage (on laser jet paper, so the ink doesn’t smear). Enjoy! Many more antique advertisements can be found HERE.
Antique Envelope Image

A sweet reader named Maggie, send me a package of vintage ephemera, and this wonderful antique envelope was one of the items in the package. Aside from the cool image and text, is anyone else noticing that cute little stool the man is propping his foot on? I’m thinking that might need I thought this image might also be fun to use as a digital graphic for projects or as a blog graphic, so I removed the address from it {Read More}
Near the Cross – antique hymnal page printable
March 8, 2015 by 3 Comments
Here is a well-known and beloved hymn, “Near the Cross”, from one of the best-known and most prolific hymn writers, Fanny Crosby. It would make a lovely printable to display during Easter. Fanny wrote up to 9,000 hymns, and even used pen names, so that hymnals wouldn’t be filled with her name more than others. Born in 1801, she was blinded at 6 weeks of age, by a quack doctor who prescribed an incorrect treatment, but of her blindness, she once said, {Read More}
Antique Hymn Book Page – I Know That my Redeemer Lives
February 28, 2015 by 15 Comments
It’s so good to be home! My youngest son had a basketball tournament in Kansas City this weekend. The 4 hour drive up there on Thursday was fine, but with snowstorm “Thor”, it made the drive back home go slower. We didn’t really hit too much snow along the way, until it started picking up when we got closer to home. I love going away for little trips, but it’s always so nice to get back home. I was hoping {Read More}
Spring Sheet Music Printable

Not that I’m clock-watching or anything, but did you know that it’s only 21 days, 3 hours, 20 minutes and 15 seconds until the first day of Spring? … give or take a few seconds. I adore the Midwest in the fall, summer and spring, but I’d love to just fly south and sit on a beach for the winter. Actually, I take that back. I don’t mind snow and {Read More}
Flower Seeds Co. Advertisement – Mystic Seed Co.

With the frigid weather we’ve been having lately, it may not feel like it, but Spring’s a comin’!!! Is anyone else counting down the days until Spring? I keep trying to remind myself that even when it arrives, it’s likely to be at least several weeks until it actually feels like spring, but just knowing it will be here soon, makes me tolerate these cold winter days a little better. I found a few antique flower seeds company advertisements in my collection {Read More}
