Picking Apples

It cooled down here a bit in Georgia this week, the first whisperings of Fall. This caused my husband to ask when the apples would be ready for picking.  I'm sure they are ready now and what could be sweeter than this 1910 image from The Baldwin Primer?

Delineator 1907

Today's Freebie Friday comes from a 1907 issue of the Delineator. Isn't this little girl the sweetest thing? I love the expression on her face and that darling little lamb pull string toy.

As always you may use the image for PU, S4H, and CU so long as you link back to the blog.

We had some pretty ferocious weather here yesterday - tornado warnings that resulted in downed tree limbs and power lines. I hope you all are safe and well and have a wonderful weekend!

I love the vintage issues of the Delineator for its beautiful fashion plates and fun ads. 

Dress forms are still very popular and I'd never seen a collapsable one for before. The image above "closed" is the dress form collapsed and the image on the right is it open completely. Pretty nifty.

As always, feel free to use the image above for PU, S4H, or CU so long as you link back to the blog.

1898 Delineator Bicycle Outfits

Everyone is out running, walking or riding bikes in the beautiful Summer-like weather we have been having. It prompted me to share these bicycle outift fashion plates from a 1898 Delineator issue. Can you even imagine mounting a bicycle, never mind riding it in such voluminous clothing? I can't!

As always feel free to use these images for PU, CU, or S4H, so long as you link back to the blog.

Woman Ironing

This week I've made a list a mile long of Spring Cleaning Chores. I've the garden to plant, Winter clothing to put up, and Spring garments to wash and hang, the exterior of the house needs a good power washing and the entire of the house a bit of tidying. But instead of doing all that I snatched this image from a 1916 McCalls Magazine to share with you.

As always the image is free for you to use for PU, CU, S4H so long as you link back to the blog.

Have a lovely weekend,

Freebie Friday - Girl with Parasol - Vintage Digital Stamp

Vintage Girl with Parasol Free Digital Stamp

I'm still devouring the pages from last week's 1923 Garden magazine so I thought I would share another digital image from it.  I love the sweet little girl with the parasol as she walks through her garden gate with her mother or maybe her governess?

This image was less than an inch tall when I got started with it so I apologize for any graininess, it just seemed too sweet to pass on sharing.

For those who want the image without the shrubbery you'll find it below.

 As always feel free to use for PU, S4H, or CU so long as you link back to the blog.
