Of all the beautiful old hymns, my favorite ones are actual passages of Scripture that were set to music, like this, “The Lord’s Prayer” song. Occasionally gospel songwriters, both past and present, include lyrics that just don’t line up with what the Bible teaches, but you can’t go wrong when you set actual Scripture to music. It’s also one of the best ways to memorize Scripture, for people who are auditory learners, like myself. This page came from a beautiful antique {Read More}
Antique Clock Face Graphics from School Book
January 1, 2015 by Leave a Comment
Recently I picked up an antique school book, which was filled with lots of charming illustrations, and of course the first ones that caught my attention were the telling time pages, with antique clock face images on them. The first day of 2015 seemed like a good time to share them!. It’s easy to print these out, and attach them to old cd’s, or a round piece of wood for an instant “antique” clock face to display in a vignette. Here {Read More}

Peace On Earth & Christmas Reflections
December 25, 2014 by 7 Comments
I’m writing this post in the wee hours of the morning on Christmas day, but by the time you see it, Christmas 2014 will be nearly over. I think of Christmas as a season, not just one date on the calendar, and I’m reflecting on the 2014 season, and even making notes for myself for next year. Every Christmas season seems to rush by too quickly, and I often feel like I didn’t have enough time to enjoy it as {Read More}
Adeste Fideles – O Come, All Ye Faithful
December 21, 2014 by 6 Comments
Here is a beautifully aged antique Christmas music page, of the famous Christmas carol, “Adeste Fideles”, which is latin for “O Come All Ye Faithful”. This could be used in so many ways, but I think the prettiest thing to do with it, is just frame it. It came from an early 1920’s antique music magazine, called The Etude {CLICK ON IMAGE TO ENLARGE} Merry Christmas!
Christmas Bell Ornaments – 1800’s Antique Advertisement
December 20, 2014 by 6 Comments
Last year I shared the full-size image of these Christmas bell ornaments with you (find it here). I think these would look so cute turned into ornaments with Shrinky Dinks,(Amazon link) or strung as a garland, so I grouped them together as smaller images that can be printed on one page (printable below). I had planned to make a bunch of them as ornaments, but I only got ONE done, before I got sidetracked on another project, and never got back to {Read More}
Chalkboard Kitchen Canisters and Labels – Not a Creature Was Stirring, Not Even a Mouse
December 19, 2014 by 16 Comments
Obviously, it isn’t the night before Christmas yet, because the creatures have been stirring in my pantry, and I’m not happy about it. There’s nothing more frustrating than discovering a mouse has helped himself to foods in your pantry, and they are persistent little critters. We live in an old house that has lots of little nooks and crannies they find their way in through. They don’t come indoors during the summer, but in the winter, they make themselves right at {Read More}

While digging through a stack of papers last night, I came across this antique Christmas graphic from an early 1900’s magazine that I’ve never shared before. I’ve got paper stacks a mile high, so it’s lucky I stumbled upon this one before Christmas came and went. I especially love the snow covered font for the lettering. {CLICK ON IMAGES TO VIEW FULL SIZE} I removed the advertising text in the image below, so it can be used as a gift {Read More}

I’ve shared several projects lately, using a chalkboard as the background for them, so I thought I would share the color versions of the backgrounds, because you may find a fun way to use them, but I’m including a tutorial as well, so you can make your own custom colors. This red one is like the one I used to design my Mrs. Claus Cookie Co. printable that I shared. This green version reminds me of the old green school {Read More}
