Once again, it's Thursday so that means it's request day here at TGF!
Here's what I found for you this week:
Click on images to enlarge
Keely requested a Turnip image. These beauties are from an old seed packet.
Pamela was wishing for a Hawk on a Limb. This graphic is from an early Natural History book.
Ragdoll Designs was hoping for some Knitting. This image is from an old knitting booklet from the 1940's. I normally don't post images that are this recent, due to copyright issues, however I feel pretty good that this one is in the Public Domain, as the copyright would have had to be reissued in 1963, and since this was a fashion publication, it would have been quite out of fashion by then!
And last, but not least, "Last Hired Loser" (No, I'm not throwing jabs, that's her blog name!) had asked for some images relating to Libraries or people reading. This fun antique photo shows a number of Victorian women reading.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!

Looking for any 12 Days of Christmas graphics.
ReplyDeleteI love the knitting one!
ReplyDeleteI'd like to request old chiromancy graphics!
The hawk is perfect for a greeting card I'm making. Thank you so much! Do you have a robot?
ReplyDeleteI would love to have some sort of crochet logo-type thing from the past..lots of knitting stuff out there, but not crochet, which actually is an older form ..and of course when you think of men repairing fishing nets, it's always with a tatting-type of implement..just another form of crochet..but knitting gets the glory *sob*
ReplyDeleteEither someone actually crocheting, or the same sort of thing you found for knitting would be truly wonderful!♥
Aelwyn,
ReplyDeleteIf you check in my "Odd" category, you will find a wonderful Palmistry hand.
Sandy, I'm glad you like the Hawk! Robots are tough to find, I don't think I have anything like that right now that would be in the Public Domain.
Mizdarlin,
Yes, I do have a similar image with crochet, I'll post it next week.
Deb & Mark,
I'll keep my eye out, but I don't have anything right now for the 12 days.
Karen, I love your blog, both of them actually. I am looking for some barber or salon tools. Or any vintage pictures of salons or barber shops. Thanks, you are amazing!

Gorgeous Thursday images, thanks a lot
ReplyDeleteHi Karen!
ReplyDeleteFirst off - I love your blog! I love old things! My family currently lives in an old farmhouse built in 1900 and am always looking for things to add to my decor.
I was wondering if you have any vintage photos of papillons. I have a little papillon dog named Reeses and would love to have a print somewhere in my house with a royal family with a papillon or just the dog by itself. Anything you could find would be great!
Thanks again
Jody
I love the turnips! I'd like to request a unicorn or maybe some other mythical creature?
