Izzwizz was wishing for some Toys for a Toyshop Window that she's creating. These are from an old Victorian Postcard, I just separated them from the rest of the card. Cute and colorful!
ThePowerOfMe was hoping for some type of cleaning related image, I believe for a Children's Chore Chart that she's working on. I found this image of a woman Folding Laundry in a 1915 Ladies Magazine.
And lastly Clare, who has perfect timing and made this request this morning, was wanting some Artist Paint Brushes. This set of Brushes is from an 1880's Pharmacy Catalog.Well, that's all for this month. 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 next month to see if I found your requested image (Sorry but I can't fill every request, I usually pick a few each time). 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!
I love these! I used the housekeeping gal in my Vintage Tea Towels article on Squidoo. Thanks so much!!
ReplyDeleteA beautiful post with awesome picks!

How sweet of you to do request days. These are all great. Thanks to those who asked for them, and to you for finding them.
ReplyDeleteI'd like to request some old fingerprints -- perhaps from a study of them when they were just being brought into the limelight of science. Thanks!
Thank you for the images. I love the toys.

ReplyDeleteI love your blog ~ found it today and following it now ~ thanks for all the images!
ReplyDeleteKaren, I want to use the Christmas toys under a tree on a Christmas card. When I open the file and go to print layout, on every size, the front of the train will be cut off. How can I fix this?
ReplyDeleteThanks for the old fashioned toys. :)
ReplyDeleteI am addicted to this blog, although I don't consider myself a very crafty person (working on that tho!)
ReplyDeleteI can't get enough horses, western images, cowgirls, cowboys, English riders, unicorns, pegasus...etc!
I am hoping you can help me. I have been looking everywhere for a vintage looking lobster trap illustration. Found lots of lobsters, but no traps. I really need it for a project I want to make. Thanks so much!
ReplyDeleteKaren,
ReplyDeleteI am hoping you can help with my request sometime in the future whenever y0u have a spare! minute. I would like to repair a treasured Advent calendar I have from 1960.
The manger scene has been damaged behind the final flap that gets opened.
I am thinking I should remount the calendar and repair the picture.
Thak you for your images and all the best for the Festive scene
Hi Karen!
ReplyDeleteI’d also like ice skaters, any sort.
Thank you!
Hi Karen, as I cannot reach you via email: I found many nice old photos with also nice backside at the fleamarket. Would you like to have some and how will you get them - I do not have facebook. If you are interested please tell me the best way to send them. Kind regards from Austria, Nik from NikAntik.blogspot.com
ReplyDeleteHi Karen, I have sent a trial of two old photo backsides per email. Maybe you'll take a look at it it you can use it (see text in mail). Do you also need the front side of the photo (sometimes very funny looking persons - must have been common in these days :-). Good night, Nik

http://graphicsfairy.blogspot.com/2011/03/vintge-printable-download-farm-animals.html
and I wondered if you could fish out the other side where they might have the names of these animals? I want to try my hand at labeling these guys.
Thanks!!!
Thanks for doing request days! I will be getting married in a Library next fall and am looking for a vintage icon of a book to use on my invitations and programs. Thanks so much for your help!
ReplyDeleteAn old hot air balloon, please! Thanks so much for all your hard work! You are a machine!
ReplyDeleteSorry, I see that you already have one, but I was hoping for a hot air balloon like the fantastic airship you have!
ReplyDeleteHi-Love your site! I'm looking for the old fashioned newspaper font. Want to say "The Daily News" in massive letters. Any ideas or sites you can point me towards.
ReplyDeleteHooray for Karen and her blog, I have been visiting for a long time, and now post a com' to say "thanks a bunch".
ReplyDeleteGood day to you,Floreva
Hello Karen, I love your daily post -- finding a new treasure in my email is a delight every day. I'm a dog nut and would love any old Shih Tzu images you've come across. Of course, every dog makes me happy -- so don't feel limited by that. I'm not on Facebook, so I don't know how else to ask another question. For the past few months, whenever you post a printable image that we can download, when I click on "HERE" instead of the image I get taken to GOOGLE something which I don't know how to get out of and I never get to your image. Can you help with that or explain what I'm supposed to do. Also, I've found some very old books that have some images that would be nice for steampunk. Is there a way to get them to you without using Facebook? Many thanks, Cindy S
ReplyDeleteHi Cindy, The page the link takes you too is called Google Docs. It's the only way that I can store images that big and offer them for free on my blog. If I offered the full size high resolution on my blog page, it would take forever to load the page. As an alternative though, you can just click on the image itself (right on my page) and save it, the same way you do all of my other images. It won't be as high of a resolution, but it may still work for your project. I hope that helps!
DeleteHi, Karen. Love your blog. I was wondering if you have any seaweed or kelp? Thanks in advance.
ReplyDeleteJust want to say thank you for giving me something wonderful to open every day. Bless you!
