I’ve shared several antique baking powder advertisements in the past, and this is another one from the early 1900’s for Royal Baking Powder, from a magazine in my collection. I’d love to get my hands on one of the actual cans! I think this would look wonderful as wall art in the kitchen. Many more antique advertisements like these can be found HERE. Enjoy!
Bee Image Clip Art from McGuffey’s Reader
February 24, 2015 by 3 Comments
Today, I have a charming bee image from an early 1900’s McGuffey’s Reader. The bee is hovering near a vine with blooms on it. It would be perfect for an image transfer project, but for those of you gifted with painting skills, I think it would also be so pretty with watercolors added to the image, for a greeting card or wall art. Here is the complete school book page the image was on – isn’t it cute?! I love {Read More}

February 23, 2015 by 3 Comments
For those who love antique graphics, and are history buffs, this is an early 1900’s invoice showing a Native American man with a pipe, and Buffalo heads on the sides. It was from the Iroquois Door Company. I love learning the history behind antique images, and I discovered that this company started in 1904 in Buffalo, New York, but sadly, it closed in 1989. The buildings are now occupied by a textiles company that makes makes sporting goods. I {Read More}
Get off the bench and get in the game

I’ve always loved this hymn, because it’s such a sincere prayer about wanting to be “all in” for God. The mid-week small group I attend has been doing a study from the book by Francis Chan, called, “The Forgotten God”. There’s a video that goes along with the study, and he gave a very vivid example of how most people, in most churches in America behave, that really struck home with me.

Today I have 2 wonderful 1800’s style images, featuring a mother with her son, and a matching card with the son and his father. Both images came from vintage playing cards. I love the vivid red and blue colors on them. {CLICK ON IMAGES TO ENLARGE} The mother card has the word “dearest” inside the banner, and the father card says, “The Earl”. I’m also including them without the text, so you can add your own if desired. I removed the text {Read More}

Have you seen this video clip that made the rounds on Facebook awhile back? This is precisely how I feel! Are you sick to death of winter yet? I always am by this time of year. I really only like winter when we get snow close to Christmas, but it seems like we always get the majority of our snow in January and February, when I am SO over winter, and am ready for some sunshine and green again. Okay, {Read More}
Vintage Style Pantry Labels

I’m still busy working on organizing my house, and still have a very long way to go, but I decided to focus on my pantry for a bit. I love using glass jars in my pantry, so you can see the contents inside, but I have 3 glass jars filled with powdery white stuff. Now, I can stick my finger in and tell the difference between flour and powdered sugar, but I can’t tell the difference between flour and baking mix, {Read More}
Beverage Station and Gift Card Holder Printables
February 11, 2015 by 5 Comments
Beverage stations are very popular right now, and I’ve always received a lot of sweet comments about the coffee station we have set up on our antique cook stove in our kitchen, so I decided to create some printable signs that have a retro look – as if they came from a 1950’s diner. Just print them, plop them in a frame, and hang them! You could also decoupage them onto wood as well.
Vintage Coffee Advertising Trade Card

Today, I have a wonderful image from an 1800’s advertising trade card for Lion Coffee. It’s a collectible trade card that was included in the coffee packages. I think this would be perfect printed as a sign to hang above a coffee station, or used as a label to add to a storage tin. Here’s the reversed image, which can be used for transfer projects, as well. Enjoy and be sure to let me know if you use this image on one {Read More}
