This antique Christmas advertisement was from F.A.O. Schwarz and was intended to be cut out and used as a Christmas ornament. It came from an 1880’s Harper’s magazine. {Right click on image to save and print} F.A.O. Schwarz is the oldest toy store in the United States, which was founded in 1862, by German immigrant Frederick August Otto Schwarz.

November 27, 2013 by 1 Comment
Those of you with grown kids know how difficult it can be to get everyone together for the holidays, but it’s a first for me as a parent. One of my sons couldn’t get off work during his college Thanksgiving break, so my husband and I are going out to eat with my other 3 kids on Wednesday, then I’ll hit the road with the kids and we’ll spend Thanksgiving with my oldest son. My husband has to work the {Read More}
Sonday – {Bringing in the Sheaves} Antique Hymn Page Printable
November 17, 2013 by 4 Comments
The farmers in our area hustled all last week to finish harvesting the last of the corn. This week they were tilling up the stubble left in the fields and I imagine they are relieved to have their work done for the season. I’ve very familiar with the first two verses in this hymn, but the last two are really meaningful as well. Blessings, Angie

DIY Engineering Print French Letter Gift Wrap
October 27, 2013 by 14 Comments
I am really getting some “mileage” out of the 1872 French letter I purchased a few months ago, and came up with another way to use it. I love the wrapping paper with antique images sold by Jeanne d’ Arc Living, but at about $14 for a 60-inch sheet (plus shipping), I knew I could get a similar look by creating my own for a lot less money. I went to Staples and had them print an engineering print for {Read More}
Printable Hang Tag Gift Tags
October 25, 2013 by 14 Comments
Several weeks ago, I shared some hang tags that came from a 1930’s dealer catalog. Originally, they had the words “Special Sale” and “Sold” on them, and were used in stores. Those tags are perfect for people who sell their handmade products at fairs or in a booth, but I wanted to modify them, so others could use them as well. I’ve created a set of printable gift tags with 7 different greetings on them, as well as a {Read More}

Antique Graphics Wednesday – 1910 Roach Killer Advertisement
October 2, 2013 by 3 Comments
Here’s a creepy crawly illustration from a roach killer advertisement from a 1910 “The Housekeeper” magazine. It’s creepy enough for some Halloween projects. This is the complete advertisement, in the natural color tone. I have no idea what “electric” paste was, but if I could sympathize with a roach, (and I can’t) I’d feel a little sorry for this guy who is loosing limbs as he walks away from the stuff. This interesting advertisement was sent to me by Audrey {Read More}
