Vintage Clip Art - Ornate Oval Frame with Scrolls

Click on image to enlarge


This is a very pretty graphic frame from a vintage typography book! I really like the romantic scrolls on this one. The black and white image makes a great Photoshop brush, or you could print it out and color it in old school too! This would make a fabulous label!!





In other news: I also made a turquoise version of this frame and sized it to use as a blog banner or header. You can find it at my other site at Backgroundfairy.com.

Vintage Image - Old Photo - Saucy Ballerina


Click on image to enlarge

I just love this old photo! This one features a beautiful young woman dressed in a velvet ballerina style costume. I believe this photo was taken in the early 1920's, it's not from my personal collection, but from an archived source and it is in the public domain.

Vintage Fairy Tale Clip Art - Cinderella


Click on image to enlarge


I thought I would squeeze in one last request for this week! This one is for Andi Lia who requested some Fairy Tale graphics. This image is from an antique Cinderella book that I picked up recently. Here we see poor Cinderella with her broom and her tattered clothing. I will share more from this book soon. You can find more Fairy Tale images HERE.

Thursday is Request Day - Apple, Fountain, Teeth, Bulldog

Click on images to enlarge


Once again, it's Thursday so that means it's request day here at TGF!

Here's what I found for you this week:


Two readers, both Gwen & Izzy requested an Apple image. The cute and colorful one above, is from a Victorian game.





Martha had a wish for a fountain. Now that she has the fountain, she can make even more wishes!





Mariah had hopes for some Teeth! This is an early Dental ad from an antique newspaper. Check out the prices. I wouldn't mind snapping up a few of those $1 Gold fillings!

I went ahead and "extracted" (haha) the single tooth, to be used separately, if desired.




And lastly Bri asked for a single Bulldog.


Well, that's all for this week. Do you have a request for an image? If so please leave it here in the comments section of my Request Day post, and then check back on Thursday to see if I found your requested image (Sorry but I can't fill every request, I usually pick a few each week). Each week I go back and check under my Thursday posts to find what your looking for, it's so much easier for me that way. I'm afraid I'm a very disorganized Fairy, so please, please please Do Not email requests to me, I most likely will loose it if you do. So sorry but I'm a complete mess when it comes to email! I'm afraid they're just aren't enough hours in the day to answer them all, and then I feel horribly guilty.

P.S. Don't forget to use the search box here on my blog, you might find that the image you want is already here!
