Amazing Victorian Butterfly!!

Oh my, I'm so excited to share this one with all of you!! This is a gorgeous piece of Victorian Advertising, for a New York department store. This amazing piece is a wonderful colorful butterfly, with the most fabulous wings. Think of all the fairy's you can make with this graphic. I've included the back as well, as the printed writing is so lovely as well. You can see some old tape residue on the back, which adds a bit of character to the piece, I think. Be sure to click on the images to enlarge them.

Here's another one from the vintage number series. This one is the number 5. I'm afraid it's a bit faded from age, but I wanted to include it in case you are collecting the whole set. This one has a sewing theme and includes, spools of thread, a thimble, scissors, and a pin cushion.

Hope you are having more pleasant weather in your area.

Old Photo - Pierrot Clown Costume Party

How amazing is this old postcard?!! This one comes complete with not just one but eight Pierrot clowns! I'm not sure if this was a photo from a costume party or a circus or what, but what a fun photo this is. I especially like the cone shaped hats with the pompoms. An interesting graphic that would be great in any altered art project.

Free Graphic- Old Advertising - Tiny Babies

Old Photo- Witchy Woman

Okay first off let me start this post by saying, if this happens to be your Great Great Grandma, I do humbly apologize! That said, I recently had a request for some Halloween clipart. Vintage Halloween stuff can be very pricey and hard to find so, I'm afraid I don't have a lot in my collection. However I thought this old photo of this sour faced woman (No offense, I'm sure she was a lovely person) could be a good starting point for a witch collage. I even went so far as to make a primitive hat for her in order to prove my point. Now don't you think she makes a very fine witch after all?

Your welcome to use the hat as well, if you like, although you could probably make a better one yourself! Just click on the images if you would like them larger.

Violetta - Romantic Background

This is a page from an old book, that was to used to advertize a romance novel titled Violetta. I just loved the beautiful font used here in the title and thought this wonderful sepia toned page would make a great background for an ATC.
