2nd Round of Vintage Valentines ~ Free Printables Clip Art

 

Well another Beautiful Monday Morning has rolled around once again here at the farmhouse. I hope you all had a beautiful weekend ..

 

I spent 12 hours on Saturday taking a Photography Class. Learning how to get out of "Auto" mode and into manual mode. I had a wonderful day .. Learned so much and can't wait to start applying all I have learned to my photos .. Well needless to say that long of a day and all that learning really tuckered me out so Yesterday I just spent the day resting and playing with Flossie.

 

 Looks like all of you in the South and East are in for quite storm ... well while you are whittling away your hours waiting for the storm to pass this is the perfect time to jump right in and get some cute Valentine projects made.

 

Well we are on the countdown to another fun Holiday ... "Valentines"...  I remember when I was a little girl I loved going to the store with my mom and picking out a pack of valentines. In my era they came wrapped in a little thin cardboard box wrapped in a decorative cellophane outer. I still actually have many that were given to me. In one class my teacher had us make large heart pockets out of construction paper and pasted them together so we had a place to keep all the valentines we were given in exchange in class ..  I still have that heart and all the valentines in it .. Abbey was always such a great mom and allowed me to keep many of the things I made in school. Today they are all tucked away in a trunk .. beautiful memories that I love to cherish.

 

 

 

So today here are 4 more Valentines that I found in our collection that I thought were just charming .. and I think these would be so great mixed with the other 4 I offered last week HERE ... for making valentine banners .. Print and cut them out and punch holes in each side and string them with some pretty ribbon or bakers twine ..  Or how about some simple placemats .. Print them on cardstock cut them out .. and then paste them into the center of a piece of construction paper or one of those paper doily placemats you can pick up at Wal-Mart etc.  There are so many ways to decorate with Vintage Valentines just let your imagination Soar ...

Good Monday Morning to you all ..

I Love this old Helms Bakeries Receipt...

 

I came across a few pads of these several years ago .. and am down to one of them. I use them for sending notes and greetings to customers in their packages ..

 

However it would be charming to add a cute saying or write in some baked goods with prices etc. and the print it out and frame it for your kitchen ...

 

Or these would make adorable tags for Home Baked Christmas Gifts this year ..

 

The original receipt is in white w/blue lettering as shown ..

 

 

 

I am also providing it in this beautiful Sepia Tone Lettering and Lines ... which would look great on a brown paper wrapped package !

Memorial Day & Fourth of July Free Printables ~ Red, White and Blue ~

Hey Y'all ..

Well I thought I would share these 3 Stunning vintage post cards from the 1940's with you this week. as 3 of our new free printables we will begin offering again now that I'm getting back to blogging.

Just in time for your Memorial Day and Fourth of July decorations.


For many years I was an avid collector of Antique Patriotic Items ..

From Flags dating back to the Spanish American War, Authentic Uncle Sam Costumes from the early 1900's, Sweetheart Jewelry and more..... I amassed quite the collection over many years time and yes I still have it all.

Here are a few of the wonderful old Postcards that have been part of my collection.


 

 

I added this Beautiful Blue Lace Frame for your Pleasure...

 

 

 

These are for personal use only as I'm unsure of what the copyright law for mass reproduction would be for business. Feel Free to right click on the images and save to your pictures for your personal use.





* These would make charming Place Cards for a BBQ

* Print onto heavy Cardstock ..Trim with decorative scissors add Large tongue depressors with Hot glue or a stapler to the bottoms and Make Old Fashioned Paper Fans ... If you have a laminator you could laminate them or take them to your local print shop and let them laminate them so your guests have a charming gift to take home.

* Print out on Index Cards ...Then use a glue stick to attach the cards to the front of brown Paper Lunch Bags .. and fill with Goodies for the Kids and the Adults.

* Make a Paper Banner to Hang ... Print out multipes onto Index Cards .. then Punch holes in the top corners and run string, ribbon or crepe paper streamer through the holes to create a fun banner you can hang on the wall ... cut out some cute cardstock stars to string inbetween the cards so it breaks up the reptition ..Make as short or as long as you like for the space you want it to span ..

These are just a few fun ideas I would love doing and hope you might too  ..

Enjoy

Free Printable Vintage Cookie Recipes ~ Cowboy & Raggedy Ann Cookies ..~

 

Over a Year ago while Abbey and I were out at a local estate sale ..we found 2 big wood Recipe boxes.. both filled to the brim with hand written recipes and recipes clipped from food boxes, wrappers, newspaper clippings and the like.

 

We can't pass up recipe boxes . .. and a few over the years have yielded some pretty unsavory recipes that caused us to scratch our head and ask ... Really ?

 

Then Other recipe boxes such as these ..just made you sit down and grow hungrier by the minute from the pot roast, to the Chili ..and of course the cookies.

 

Before we could go through one of the recipe boxes though we had to pull it out from underneath my sewing machine pedal .. I sit at a large work table to sew that is rather tall .. Great for cutting fabrics and working on projects because your not constantly bending over and getting a back or neck ache but a little odd for reaching the foot pedal of the sewing machine so I quickly remedied the long reach by placing the large wood recipe box just in the perfect spot under the table and placing my foot pedal on it well over a year ago..LOL ! Hey whatever works..as long as my leg is now comfy when sewing.

 

So This week we reminisced through those old recipes and Found 5 Vintage Cookie Recipes that we thought had charming names or some fun ingredients or fun designs ... to share with you all.

 

 Feel free to save them and print them out. I have provided a cute Page Print out ..or below each page is the original recipe as it was found in the recipe box which can also be saved and printed easily.

 

 

 

~ Raggedy Ann Cookies ~



~ Cowboy Cookies ~

 

(we found these cookies are also know as Roy Rogers cookies and Laura Bush Cookies and have a popularity in the Great State of  Texas)



~ Quick Chocolate Chip Cookie Sticks ~

 

(we loved how you bake these in to small sticks )

 

~ Oatmeal Raisin Cookies ~

 

( These are made with "Best Foods" Mayonnaise)

 

 

 

 

~ Cereal Cookies ~

( a little different from the rice krispy bars of today but the recipe looks good )

 

 

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

 

So have any of you gals Made these cookies ? Or did you grow up with Mama or Grandma baking them ? ... we would love to know ... Leave a comment and share a little Baking love...

Free Printable ~ Kitten in Basket Antique Advertising Card

 

Well it's a beautiful Saturday Afternoon .. The Sun is shining bright ..and well I have to admit it's Hot .. it's in the 90's here today and supposed to reach well near 100 degrees over the next few days.

 

So needless to say I'm staying inside.

 

It's been an amazingly busy week .. It seems for us it tends to be that way leading up to any special day or Holiday ..and Mother's Day is one of those busy times for us. In fact I got so busy that I had Jury Duty starting this last Monday .. and I completely forgot to call in until "Thursday" Night .. I was in a bit of a panic .. I didn't know what happened if you didn't call in and all I could think was "is there a warrant out for my arrest ?" .. you can laugh but that's what I thought. Well I called that night and it said to appear at 8:00 a.m. any morning within so many days at the courthouse .. So needless to say I wasn't waiting around ..Friday Morning I was at the courthouse at 8 sharp. I found out that I had to sit and wait to see if I would be called to serve that morning and the great thing was that being it was Friday they don't generally start trials so we were released by 10:30 yesterday morning. So now I'm good ..until they send me another summons ..which they send quite often .. I get them 2 to 3 times a year ..

 

So today I finally have a few minutes to just sit down and blog .. and thought this was a good time to share this week's "Free Printable"

 

This is such a sweet sweet Antique Advertising Card ...

With a Cute little Kitten in a woven basket ..

 

 

I also extracted the cat in the basket by itself ..for your pleasure and it can be found on the printables page for your pleasure !

 

Wishing you all Sunshine Dreams ....

 

 

 

Free Printable ~ Dress Form, Mannequin "How To Look Your Best:

 

 

So are Dress Forms still Popular ? I know for a few years now they have been all the rage .. ! But I wondered if the fire for them is still burning or has slowed down ?

 

I  fell in love with them the last few years and can count five that I have sitting here at the farmhouse that I use either at markets , or in photos for the shop , or just because I enjoy looking at them.

 

So have you all collected dress forms ?

 

I found this cute vintage Dress Form Card... I think it was probably an advertisement. I have had this saved away in my scans for several years now. I think I once used a copy of it on a cute decoupage project that I made. It's been a while and the brains a bit foggy on exactly what the project was ..LOL !

 

Anyhow it's now yours for the using and the enjoying.

 

 

 

I have also included it on the "Free Printables" page in Black and white and with the background removed and made it aqua blue for your pleasure !

 

 

This would make such a charming Pillow front wouldn't it ..

 

Enjoy !
