Thursday is Request Day - Almanac Page, Wire Wisk, Teeth, Train

It's Thursday... so that means it's request day here at TGF!

Here's what I found for you this week:
Lori was hoping for an old Almanac page. I really liked the texture and patina on this, circa 1880's ephemera piece, so I left it alone. If you don't care for it, you can always print it out and then trim up the edges!

This is another one for Lori... I swear I'm not playing favorites here! I always look for all of the requested images, but I can only find so many of them. This is one that I had... so she's getting it! Anyway, she wanted some baking tools, to illustrate her recipe cards, and I thought that might be something that a lot of folks could use, so I dug up this Wire Wisk image in an 1880's wire catalog.

Becca and Colby were wishing for teeth... or at least tooth related images I should say! I've been getting so many requests lately for tooth stuff! Anyway, these teeth come from a 1912 typography catalog.

And lastly, Katie was hoping for something Train related. This is also from the 1912 Type book.

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 page here on my blog, you might find that the image you want is already here

  9. I tried using the search, and maybe I did something wrong, but I couldn't find any dahlia images.

    I make jewelry and have so many ideas from all the awesome graphics you have, especially the simple black and white ones. So inspiring! Thanks!

  17. That almanac page is great. I'm looking for old pictures of people playing musical instruments; prefer the cabinet card era or cowboys or cowgirls pre-1950, but others might work. Thanks so much!

  38. Wow--you are so awesome! I just stumbled on your site while looking for vintage kitchen graphics (GREAT wire whisk; just what I was looking for!).

    I'm also looking for some wording that is scrolly cursive handwriting, like a love letter, but is writing out recipes or kitchen sayings or something.
