Free clip art images from a Victorian 1851 Goody's Lady's Book

    Welcome followers and visitors. I really love your comments. It makes me so happy that you appreciate the pictures and are using them in your art work and crafts.
    Today I carefully copied many many images from this huge collection of magazines "Goody's Lady's Book". This book is 2 1/2" thick and was printed in 1851! Some article titles; The secret of a charming manner,Two ways of keeping a wife and The schoolmaster of Braintree. I am actually going to read some of these. All the pictures are line drawings or engravings with a few being hand colored or painted. If this is your era it is a treasure trove. Perfect for anyone who likes Victoriana period clothing.The fashion plates are instant art and beautifully done. Much love to you all and enjoy the new images, Louise

   Welcome to everyone. The sky is gray and cloudy and it is cold out there. Now my bed on the other hand is white, warm and very comfortable. Guess where I'd rather be!  I just love my flannel sheets, fluffy and warm down comforter and my favorite pillow. All in white, a blank canvas for dreams day or night.

    I have all afternoon for scanning and posting images. Yes!!! Where do I start: First very ornate curtains from 1850's.

A few lovely lady's. Huge flower corsages and lots of buttons were most in fashion!

A rooster from a child's music book.

A pretty frame.

This is the first post today. Thought I had better post this now before I get lost in all my ephemera paper stuff! So enjoy, Louise

Almost up to my 100th image and this blog is only a few weeks old!!

   Time is just flying by. It is already Sunday! My house is a creative  mess. There are buttons and old photos every where. I delivered a bunch of buttons to the Legacy today so be sure to go in Monday morning. The button section in the store is coming together. The new batch I picked up for sorting and pricing is full of vintage buttons, my favorites.

I think you will love these new photos.
