Vintage Clip Art - Cute Teacup - Place Card
Click on images to Enlarge
This is another cute Teacup from an old Victorian Cookbook in my collection. This one is quite plain, but I actually think it makes it even more useful than the others, since you can decorate it anyway that you like!
Like this version, where I've added a Bee. I used Photoshop, but you could use a Rubber Stamp instead!
I think this would make a darling Place Card as well, or even a gift tag! You could personalize each teacup with the name of your guests. Fun!

Vintage Instant Art Printable - Nest with Egg
This is a wonderful Natural History print! This is an antique Morris print, these Morris Nest and Egg images are highly sought after images and very difficult to get. This one had some damage to it, so I got it at a reasonable price and then used photoshop to correct the defects. You may recall a similar one that I posted last year and used for a project, you can find it HERE. I've created an Instant Art download for you on this one, a lovely one to frame!
Brag Monday - Antique Chair & Candy Bag
It's time for Brag Monday #100! Woohoo! Once again I'm bragging about two more projects from the last Brag Monday party.
First I'm bragging about this adorable Antique "Sit" Chair made over by Ann at Moonbeams and Fireflys. She used the Pointing Hand Graphic , and painted it on the chair. How fun! It looks like her dog Barney thinks it's brag worthy too!
Next I'm bragging about this sweet Paper Gift or Candy Bag, crafted by Lisa at A Spoonful of Sugar! Darling! She used the French Cafe Advertising, for the center of the bag, I love the little grosgrain ribbon detail she added too!
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!

This is an interesting looking Owl from an Antique Type Book! He has some very large wings that are stretched out and he's perched on some Books. I think he would make a great looking Book Plate!

Vintage Clip Art - Sheep Diagram

Here's an interesting looking Sheep Diagram. This one was generously provided by Ann, from Moonbeams and Fireflys. According to Ann this one comes from a 1919 Textiles Handbook. I believe it's some sort of diagram for shearing wool? I think it would make a cute handmade card for a knitting friend!
