Good Morning!

"Rise and shine! It's a beautiful morning, the sun is shining, the tank is clean and we are getting outta... the tank is clean?!?" Sorry, I'm watching Nemo with my girls... :)
On to the business at hand.. the images! It is almost the time for love.. and I love black and white! To see how I used the top sillouette, you can peek at my blog, HERE. Did you find it??

This and that..

I need to mention, that although I try my best to make sure every image I have posted is 100+ years old, thus releasing most of the copyright laws, or copyright free, I do suggest that you do not use these images for resale or mass reproduction. If you have a question about a specific image please feel free to email me and I will get back to you as soon as I can with whatever info I have.
I am not an expert on copyright laws nor do I pretend to be...
Ta! Carry on with your creativity!

Patina...








I have a passion for old books. The older the better. The patina can't be matched! You may use the photo at the top anyway you choose in your art. Please do not sell or reproduce the image as is. The other scans, have fun!

Some lovely tidbits!


Okay, I have some business to attend to first. First on the agenda are the One World ~ One Heart giveaways! Please check out Lisa's blog to meet some fantasticly lovely people from around the world! Hundreds of bloggers are giving away lovely tidbits to those who stop by and visit their blog/corner of the internet.


Second, my fabulous friend, Rhonda of RhondaMum is hosting a bloglandia event, Mon Amour De Toutes Les Choses, or My Love Of All Things French. You can stop by her place for all the details. Oh, I nearly forgot, if you'd like another chance to win my Sweet Abigail Paper Doll Set, you can enter at my blog, Down Abbie's Road.

Thank you!

Here are your images for today.. more from the same newspaper. Sorry about the stains, but what can I say, they're over 100 years old!

Aren't these fabulous? I have dozens of antique newpapers from my grandfathers colonial home in NH. Just need to find the time to scan them in for you!

Wooohoooo!!



The Vintage Moth was featured on Today's Creative Blog yesterday!! How cool is that?? Kim runs just about the most fabulous blog out there, highlighting blogs where creativity rules! You can also take a peekie at her personal blog, another lover-ly place to visit! Thank you Kim!



The above photo I took myself. You have my permission to use it in your art! :) I just love old buildings! This one is especially fun due to the door that goes to nowhere. Sometimes I feel like that. That the way out of certain situations is very uncomfortable and dangerous! Dream like, I thought perhaps it might inspire some creative thinking! You can see how I used the image here.
