Today’s images are silhouettes from a 1935 children’s song book called, “Fifty Favorite Songs for Girls & Boys”. I’ve given most of them a black/gray tone, but left the complete song pages in their original color tone so you can see their pretty aged look. I think these would be perfect to create some handmade greeting cards with. Here’s a very famous lullaby. These pages are very fragile and unfortunately, this one has a tear at the bottom. I love {Read More}

I’ve got more fascinating advertisements from the 1800’s for you today for Antique Graphics Wednesday. Isn’t this image from an 1888 Harper’s Magazine advertisement for Lavender Salts wonderful? I’d love to get my hands on a bottle like that today – especially with the crown lid and pretty typography on the label. Here’s just the crown part. Here’s just the label. Here’s the complete ad. I wouldn’t want to wear one, but images of corsets are always so pretty. And the complete {Read More}
Antique Graphics Wednesday – 1900’s Suitcase Trunk Advertisements
April 11, 2012 by 2 Comments
Antique and vintage suitcases and trunks are very hot items in decorating right now. Not only do they look wonderful, but they make great storage as well. These images of antique suitcases came from the advertising section of two college yearbooks from 1912 and 1914. I love all the photos and advertisements I’ve gotten from these yearbooks, as they are such a window back in time. Here’s the 1st suitcase with the rest of the advertisement removed, with a slightly {Read More}
Antique Graphics Wednesday – Ledger Papers
March 14, 2012 by 11 Comments
I have several antique ledger books and I love the simple charm of these pages that helped keep the accounts and records for businesses many years ago. Today I’m featuring several ledger papers that were never written on, because they’ll make wonderful images for scrapbooks or other projects. I love the heavy aging on this page. This is the same page as above, except I’ve given it a lighter tone with less aging. These pages are from a ledger {Read More}
Antique Graphics Wednesday – Easter Advertisement & Postcard
March 7, 2012 by 12 Comments
Before we know it, Easter will be here, so today I’m featuring antique ads and postcards that you can print & enjoy. This advertisement for Swift’s Premium Ham came from a 1908 McClure’s magazine. I have another old postcard that is very old and tattered, but the typography is lovely, so I’ve cropped out just that part for you. Another sweet little postcard with a baby chick on it. To see all the past graphics I’ve posted, click on the tab {Read More}
Simple Truth – Jesus Loves Me
March 4, 2012 by 16 Comments
I think if you ask anyone who has even a passing acquaintance with the Bible, or the Christian faith, to name one famous hymn, many would respond, “Jesus Loves Me”. Ask those same people to name just one verse in the Bible, and they are likely to respond with John 3:16. Both the hymn and the verse are incredibly simple – almost child-like, yet both contain a message, written so simply that anyone, young or old can understand that message…. God wants a relationship {Read More}
Antique Graphics Wednesday – Antique Clock Faces & Hymns
February 29, 2012 by 34 Comments
You may remember that last month I ordered these incredible old clock faces from an Etsy seller in Latvia. I love having some with foreign names on them. It occurred to me that some of you may want to use these faces in projects of your own, so here are some of the faces that came from small clocks. They look wonderful grouping together in a vintage vignette. Just right-click, save and print when you are ready to use them. {Read More}
Halloween Skeleton Images -1893 Gray’s Anatomy Illustrations
February 25, 2012 by 10 Comments
Today’s images come from a 1893 Gray’s Anatomy book that is filled with fascinating medical illustrations. These are wonderful to frame as unusual wall art, but would be great for altered art projects and Halloween skeleton images printables. I’d love to hear about it if you create something fun with these! Blessings, Angie
