1900's children's book illustration and shoe.Antique Tinted photograph, Frame etc...Free Clip Art

  Dear visitors and followers, welcome!
     Were have I been you may wonder. Just sick and cranky! Today I actually feel better.Since I have not posted for so long this post is rich with lots of pretty pictures.
      Do you know about swap playing cards? I have just discovered them! In an old scrap book,late 1930's, there are pages of single playing cards pasted inside. Originally I thought it was a fun hobby my aunt did. Now I have found out that these are collectible and people still collect single swap playing cards. Isn't that fun! They are very securely glued onto the pages and I am not really sure how to best remove them. I soaked a test one in water and it worked but I do not want to ruin some of the other cards. Any suggestions?
     I just love those decorated little match boxes so I hunted around and found a little box that has a drawer.It has to have a drawer. So glad I did not throw it away! It is going through it's make over and hopefully will turn out nicely.
    
I love the mountains! This reminds me of Glacier National Park in Montana. It has been a very long time since my last camping trip. Might not be so easy to sleep in a tent at this point! I am much slower at getting up.

Isn't this lovely. turn of the century illustration.

When I came across this shoe I just had to post it. It was in excellent shape and so pretty and feminine.

Well there you have it. New pics for your scrap booking, ATC and collage projects. Have fun and enjoy creating. Much love as always Louise

Good Morning everyone.

Good morning to all of you.Thank you for all the kind and encouraging words! Now we are really having fun! I looked at many of your bbeautiful blogs and am now following them.Here are the first batch of free vintage images for today. You have all inspired me.

Two more lovely Lady's.

  Isn't this a wild photo! It is a picture of a sculpture from the 1915 Panama Pacific International Exposition, San Francisco. Now that is a long name for an event! Today it would be named  something like Pan Pac Expo.

I remember doing this in our Chevy station wagon! Another great  pic from the 1883 booklet.

Looks like the maid or mother has taken a moment out of her house work to watch the Grandfather and little girls play a game.

Droppy Drawers.

They must need a change based on their facial expressions. Or more likely they both want the toy.

Need a place to hang your wonderful lovely art? A very Victorian interior.

I have always loved sleighs. Riding in one is on my wish  list. I can imagine the crisp cold air, the sound of horse bells and beautiful snow blanketed forest.How romantic!

Enjoy! Louise
