Early Game Piece - Clown Face
This is an interesting graphic! I found this inside of a secret drawer, in an old Secretary desk, that has been in my family for several generations. I'm not entirely sure, but I think this odd little clown face may have been a game piece, as it is made of sturdy cardboard. I think he would work well in a circus themed collage project!

Sweet Vintage Valentine - Cupid and Hearts
This is a cute vintage Valentine which features a tiny little cupid shooting an arrow at a big red lacy heart. Even cuter is what the little girl, that originally owned this Valentine, wrote on the back of it. She wrote "When you are old and cannot see, put on your specks and think of me". How fun!

Victorian Clip Art - Old Advertising Font
Well, I hope you guys like this one. Recently I was hanging up an old print that belonged to my grandmother and the paper backing was peeling off of the back. I tore the back off and found this wonderful early advertisement. It has lots of stains and some wrinkled areas, but personally I love the aged patina on this and I think the font is just wonderful.
