Free Five Friday

Flowers. That is the theme for May. I have found quite a few unique vintage illustrations that I will be sharing over the next four weeks. Hope you enjoy this set for the first week. Happy crafting, and happy Mother's Day!! 🌷🌹🌻🌸🌺🌼✂🎀💌💐

April showers bring may flowers. That was what my mother and grandmother always said when I was growing up. Hence, the theme for April is rain . I began this blog a year ago on the 12th as a way to share files with people in lockdown that could not find resources elsewhere since so many businesses were closed during that time. To celebrate a year, I am putting all my digitals on sale 50% off for the month of April. Please see this  link  to my store and use the *coupon, or see the post in Penny's new group: Junk Journal with Penny's Boutique . I hope you all enjoy this month's theme! Happy crafting! ☂☔🌂☔⛆⛈🌦🌧  * code:    1YRfree5friday (must be entered exactly as it is written)

There is nothing quite so satisfying as an afternoon cup of hot tea when the weather is cool. And there is also nothing quite like a tall glass of ice cold tea on a hot day. Either way, tea illustrations add another dimension to our journaling ephemera. Enjoy, ladies, and happy crafting! 💛🍵🥤⛾🌿

Today I am sharing some vintage floral illustrations and the back covers of a couple of seed catalogs. It doesn't matter what time of year it is, flowers are always a bright spot in any craft project. These are especially pretty with their Victorian styling and typography. Hope you all enjoy these! Happy crafting! Remember to stop by The Repository for more free goodies. 👀❤💙💚💛💜✂✉✏🎁  

Hello everyone. Another free 5 coming at you this Friday morning. Three versions of a rose-covered doorway, a vintage color advert for pianos and organs, and a field full of cabbage with a horse-drawn carriage to boot. These could be tags, journaling cards, journal pages, or anything else journal-related. Have fun!!

The catalog cover this week features a group of women and a nasturtium. This would make a great tag or journaling card, and comes in the three variations that I think most creatives can use. I have also included a great page of advertising in two versions of sepia. I have also created an fb group to share these files en masse . I have also created an account on cluster(.)com, added a group on Mewe(.)com, and have made a shareable album in my Google photos. It is an experiment to see what works best. Please message me for an invite, or more info. In the meantime, enjoy the latest free downloads. 😁📜🎁📖📚✂

Here is a beautiful pastoral scene with a lovely house in the background. Will make for a unique book page or tag in a journal, or plenty of other paper craft uses! I am still working on a group to share digital goods, but it will not be on fb. This is for both personal and professional reasons. By the next blog post, I plan to have it up and going. Stay tuned! ⏰⏳✂💻📖📎🔍👀

Another week has passed. The heat keeps rising, and my project list keeps getting longer! I am toying with creating an fb group to share digital files, both free and available for purchase, for buyers and sellers. I have just under 100,000 files in my repository that I have been collecting for over four years now, and I add more almost weekly. I love searching for vintage treasures, both physical and digital! 🕓✒🎁💻📜📕 

In the spirit of giving is receiving, I am sharing 8 garden catalog covers from 100+ years ago to celebrate my birthday this year. I have edited them into three color schemes: bright, faded, and sepia. Have a great weekend everyone, and happy crafting!
