Hi everyone. Welcome to  you all.

Today is a sleek chic 1920's inspired post. From adds of the time they are so fashionable. Those flappers! The baby buggy is just a fun extra. Most of these right click to a large version.

Not sure of the date for this one.

How great is this one. Perfect ending for the day. Love Louise

Free clip art Antique bicycle graphics and "That husband of yours!" advertisement.

 Welcome to you all.

Another beautiful day in sunny California. The weather has been on the cool side for August which makes me very happy. More mundane chit chat. I have a new mouse in the house. It is wireless and it is a dream. Why did I put up with the frustrating and temperamental old one for so long??!! Finally it died. I was having computer and blog withdrawal with in the first 24  hours.Thank goodness Target had one on sale that was wireless. I couldn't plug it in fast enough.

One thing that turns up with regularity in postcards and ads of the late 1890 is the bicycle.  There is a wealth of images to share with you. That is the theme of the day.

Right click for larger images if it is avaliable.

This headline is catching to say the least!

Forgive me but I just had to include this.

Riding in the snow?

I just love this one. Such a sweet little boy.

Do not try this at home!  Isn't this one funny.

My new doo-dad for the end of my posts

Antique Railroad advertisments featuring Native American pottery and baskets for instant art, collage and as frames for scrap booking

 Thought these old train advertisements where so neat I just had to share them. They maybe a good reference for native American basket and pottery design. They are posted as frames and in black and white so they could be used for a variety of uses. I can just see a store in the southwest making a sign out of the frames. Perfect for scrap booking of your summer vacations in Arizona.

My grandparents left a few Santa Fe railroad ephemera items so there are only a few graphics.This is a third quick post. There are so many graphics and photographs that I want to share there will most likely be a fourth!

My Grandmother had a basket collection that was lost in one of their moves. In newspaper clippings and my family history I should be a 6th generation Californian.So far I have not found a branch that was here earlier than 1870's that wold result in six generations. Just a little personal genealogy tid-bit.

1890's Antique perfume and soap advertisments,Free graphics for collage and other creative expresions

Complexion powder?Perfume salts? Wonder what ingredients they contained. Regardless of what the original products were made of, the old advertising graphics are safe to use! All free for your use and enjoyment. Be sure and right click for larger images( except for the first one). A few can be used as instant art.

The second post of the day and it is only 8:00pm. Still time for more!

Much love to each and everyone of you, Louise

Free Clip Art Antique French Box, Angel, Chestnut Botanical Art, Nelson's Dream Village

 This is the  second post of the day as I was not able to add all the images to the first one. Why one asks? Well I don't know why! Just when I think I know how to do something(especially with my computer) it just will not do what it's suppose to do! On this rainy day in sunny ol' California I am having a wonderful time playing with the scanner, uploading so many new images. It continues to be such a good feeling to share with all of you. The blog world is really world wide. People from 18 different countries have stopped by! How amazing! What search was the person in Madagascar doing when they stumbled on to my blog? Hope my continued amazement at all of this doesn't wear you out. I am just showing my  gray hair. This is just so much fun. Please continue to leave your comments. It is nice to hear from you.
   I was going to make a big celebration for the 100th image but it came and went so quickly. Today I will be over 150 images, all in the first month of bumble button's creation.
   This angel has the prettiest face. She is definitely going to be on a Christmas card this year. Just love her.

This one is a little scary. It needs a declaimer "do not try this at home". Note the cord up to the lamp and the stylish decoration. The advertisement, instructions and bill signed by my grandmother are all here. What was she thinking! Not what I would expect from an intelligent,educated woman with a lot of common sense.

This is a fun french box for bobbins of black thread. At least that is my guess. The box design would make great labels and frames for scrap booking

I love botanicals. This one is of a Chestnut tree. Perfect for the holidays.

a simple frame.

The postcards are from my family so they must have stayed here. Have you stayed at or know if Nelson's Dream Village still exists? On the back of the post card;

 See and hear the musical fountain

 cool nights in the Ozark mountains

free garage

strictly modern   moderate prices

chicken dinners a specialty

good fishing and hunting in season

This advertisement is just for fun. Condensing a "busy man's" life into one pocket. Now we have blackberry's.

Lots more to post in the future, maybe even latter tonight. Much love to you, Louise
