Pine Cone Projects The wonderful thing about Christmas decorating, is that you can create beauty using just natural elements provided by the good Lord. One of my favorite elements is pine cones, and you can usually find them free for the picking – if not in your own yard, then from a friend, or in a park. I constantly pick up pine cones when on walks and have baskets of them all over, but I thought it would be nice {Read More}
Antique Graphics Wednesday – Christmas Silhouette
November 21, 2012 by 2 Comments
This pretty silhouette was part of an advertisement for fine fragrances by the Roger & Gallet Company. I found it in a 1926 magazine. I think it would make pretty gift tags. Recently, I shared some chalkboard inspired gift tags and cards that I created and Megan @ Lilacs and Lavender created some really lovely versions of her own using my chalkboard background. Be sure to see them all. Blessings, Angie You Can Often Find Me at These Parties: Knick of {Read More}

I’ve been in chalkboard mode for the last few weeks, and decided to create some paper versions of them, in the form of Christmas cards and gift tags. I haven’t perfected these yet, but I do have 2 cards and a set of gift tags ready as printables. The PDF file link is available below. For the tags, I punched a hole in the top and added a white, adhesive reinforcement label. It looks very retro with that added. {click {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}

Antique Graphics Wednesday – 1923 Baker’s Chocolate and Cocoa Images
August 1, 2012 by 9 Comments
This image came from a 1923 chocolate recipe book, published by Walter Baker & Co. I sure would love to get my hands on one of the original cocoa tins – it’s a little work of art! They are perfect for a winter project, when we all want to sip lots of hot cocoa! Walter Baker and Company is the oldest producer of chocolate in the United States. The logo of the chocolate server (La Belle Chocolatière – the chocolate girl) seen {Read More}

Today’s graphics come from some antique postcards from the early 1900’s. The postmark on one was dated 1916. These postcards make such lovely, nostalgic decor for mantles, wreaths or strung together as a banner. Enjoy!!! Christmas Blessings to You! Angie
A Cozy Sweater & Candlelight

If I had a fireplace mantle, I’d be lining the whole thing with these! A few months ago, I got a bunch of fishbowls, glasses and vases at an auction. All you auction-lovers out there, know how you can come home with oodles of things you didn’t want, but they came with something else you did want. That was the case with these glass items. It was finally time to do something with them. I’ve been wanting to make some {Read More}
