Free Five Friday

I, for one, am a great fan of vintage advertising. Not only are they an interesting read (like why some contraptions are not made anymore) but they have some unique illustrations to help sell their product. So, I decided to share another five of these double paged ads, since the response was so good last week. Enjoy!

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! ⏰⏳✂💻📖📎🔍👀

This week has been different than any I have experienced in a long time. My husband was on vacation and, instead of going someplace where we would be restricted, we decided to do a 'stay-cation' and spend our money in local antique stores and thrift stores. We believe in helping the 'mom&pop' businesses. And we collected some amazing finds while we were at it! 😁📕📷🔑🔍🏡🚙

Last week was such a hit with the garden catalog covers that I thought I would add one to every post until I have finished curating all I have found thus far. Also, I want to add that all the images I share are in the public domain, so they can be used both for personal and commercial projects. I just clean them up and make them suitable to print. Have a great weekend, everyone, and happy crafting! ✂📎📏📐📖

Today's goodies are a mixed bag: a receipt with a photo of a rose overlayed onto it, a botanical book plate, and three handwriting samples. Hope you enjoy these!
