This old hymn, “God be with You” is from one of my antique hymnals and would make a nice addition to a gift or used on a project for someone who is moving, going off to college, or leaving on a mission trip. I think it would work well printed for the cover of a card, or decoupaged into wood. Click HERE for the full size printable. I hope you enjoy it!
Vintage Advertisement Buttermilk Soap
April 11, 2015 by 10 Comments
A few months ago, I purchased a lot of late 1800’s magazines, because they all had beautiful illustrations on the covers and were filled with wonderful images like this vintage advertisement for Buttermilk Toilet Soap. This would be a perfect graphic to put on a glass jar to hold bath salts, cotton balls etc. (image transfer on glass tutorial here). It would also be pretty as an iron on image on a towel. Here’s the full advertisement the image came from. {Read More}
Antique Book Plate Bird Prints

One of my favorite things about spring is listening to all the birds. They seem as happy for warmer temperatures as I am. This set of beautiful bird prints both came from a 1920’s bird book, and shows two types of flycatchers resting on flowering tree branches. These are perfect as instant Spring art – just print and frame, or add them to a journal or greeting card. There are many more bird images available from the same {Read More}
Vintage Wedding Clip Art Graphics

A few months ago, I found a framed antique certificate of marriage in a thrift store. It always makes me a bit sad to find things like this in a thrift store, because it means either someone didn’t value their family history enough to keep it, or someone died,and there was no one to pass it on to. Either way, I decided to purchase it, because it has several lovely images that could be used as wedding clip art.
Antique Telephone Advertisement

Here’s a wonderful antique telephone advertisement that came from a 1910 The Housekeeper magazine. It would make a wonderful image transfer for a sign (just remember to reverse the image first), or it could be used as-is for decoupage (on laser jet paper, so the ink doesn’t smear). Enjoy! Many more antique advertisements can be found HERE.
Antique Envelope Image

A sweet reader named Maggie, send me a package of vintage ephemera, and this wonderful antique envelope was one of the items in the package. Aside from the cool image and text, is anyone else noticing that cute little stool the man is propping his foot on? I’m thinking that might need I thought this image might also be fun to use as a digital graphic for projects or as a blog graphic, so I removed the address from it {Read More}
Near the Cross – antique hymnal page printable
March 8, 2015 by 3 Comments
Here is a well-known and beloved hymn, “Near the Cross”, from one of the best-known and most prolific hymn writers, Fanny Crosby. It would make a lovely printable to display during Easter. Fanny wrote up to 9,000 hymns, and even used pen names, so that hymnals wouldn’t be filled with her name more than others. Born in 1801, she was blinded at 6 weeks of age, by a quack doctor who prescribed an incorrect treatment, but of her blindness, she once said, {Read More}
Antique Hymn Book Page – I Know That my Redeemer Lives

It’s so good to be home! My youngest son had a basketball tournament in Kansas City this weekend. The 4 hour drive up there on Thursday was fine, but with snowstorm “Thor”, it made the drive back home go slower. We didn’t really hit too much snow along the way, until it started picking up when we got closer to home. I love going away for little trips, but it’s always so nice to get back home. I was hoping {Read More}
Flower Seeds Co. Advertisement – Mystic Seed Co.

With the frigid weather we’ve been having lately, it may not feel like it, but Spring’s a comin’!!! Is anyone else counting down the days until Spring? I keep trying to remind myself that even when it arrives, it’s likely to be at least several weeks until it actually feels like spring, but just knowing it will be here soon, makes me tolerate these cold winter days a little better. I found a few antique flower seeds company advertisements in my collection {Read More}
