Free Five Friday

For me growing up, summertime was usually when we got to experience things like the circus, fair or carnival. Or see the latest movie at the theater. Here are a few images of what someone might have gone to in the summers of yesteryear. 👀🤡🎪🎬🎷🎼🎻🎹🎭🎨🎥

Summer usually means vacations, and one place a lot of people go is the beach. So here are a few vintage illustrations of life on the beach back in the olden days. 'Under the boardwalk, down by the sea, on a blanket with my baby, is where I'll be' ...... That's the tune in my head! 🏖⛱🏄🌊 👙👣⚓🛥🏊🩱

Another wedding theme based on sheet music covers. I made these files a little bigger so they could be used as covers or half-page prints in most journal sizes. Enjoy! Happy crafting! 🔔✂✏👗📜📝

Here is a selection of 'just married' couples in all their vintage glory. Perfect for a wedding journal, or various types of ephemera. Have fun with these old photos, and happy crafting! 💞💗👗💋💍💐

To close out the month of May, I decided to share some vintage photos of women with flowers to add to everyone's digital image collection. Next week, I begin a new theme with lots of goodies to share. Til then, happy crafting!!! 🌷🌸🌹🌺🌻🌼🍃🍂🌿

A few more flowers for the month of May. A bouquet, botanical page, a border/bookmark with tassels, a sheet music cover and a floral background round out this week's goodies. Have a great time with these and happy crafting!! 🌷🌸🌹🌺🌿

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!! 🌷🌹🌻🌸🌺🌼✂🎀💌💐

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! 💛🍵🥤⛾🌿

Antique cars, Mardi Gras, paper dolls and the roaring 20's. That's the subject matter for this extra long post to make up for the last two weeks while I was gone to the mountains. This post will put everything back on track. Plus, I am still going down the list of requests, so keep a watch over the next few weeks for some great content! Happy crafting! ❤✂✉✏📎📏📕
