Vintage Botanical Graphics - Mushrooms

Click on Image to Enlarge

Well, I'm really hoping that this one isn't a duplicate. I thought that I might have posted this one already, but I did a search and I didn't find it, so I don't think I did. With so many graphics, sometimes it's hard to remember! Anyway, I just think these Mushrooms are so charming and the colors are soft and muted and lovely. Pretty they way they are, but they would also be fun to add some little Gnomes or Fairies to them!

Vintage Clip Art - Amazing Faux Bois Frames

Click on images to enlarge



Aren't these Faux Bois Frames amazing?!!! These are from the cover of an early Peterson's Magazine circa 1887. This image was generously provided by Angie from Knick of Time Interiors, and then altered by me! I hate to even tell you about this, because I sooo want to win these myself (selfish, I know!), but Angie is currently running a Giveaway on her blog with the most amazing collection of 1880's Ephemera, including the cover that this frame came from! I think this would be gorgeous to use for Wedding Invitations, Business Cards, Labels etc! Thank you Angie!!

I had such a great response the last few times that I posted black and white Floral Engravings, that I decided to dig through and find some more! This time I found a big bunch of Gladiolus! They are lovely the way they are of course, but fun to color in too with watercolor paints or markers. These come from an 1880's Agricultural Magazine.

Brag Monday - Paris Pillow & Toothbrush Holder

It's time for Brag Monday #95! Once again I'm bragging about two more projects from the last Brag Monday party.


First I'm bragging about this very pretty Paris Pillow made by Laura from My Little Sewing Room! She used the Paris Medallion Image from HERE. I think the stripped ticking that she used here, goes perfectly with that image!



Next I'm bragging about this Adorable Toothbrush Holder, crafted by Maddie at Domestic Anarchy! She used a plain jar and the Vintage Toohbrush Kids Images from HERE . How darling!!


Now it's your turn! Have you made something from an image here at The Graphics Fairy that you would like to share? Don't be shy, we want to see it!! It's time to brag! You might even be featured on a future Brag Monday post. Just add a link below in the McLinky box and make sure you link back, so everyone can play!
