Free clip art Vintage Volland Art Deco 1920's Bridge Tally's

 I think I've found some treasures for you....

  These are from vintage books,bridge tallys,place cards and postcards printed/published by Volland. This company was active in the 1910-20's before becoming a casualty of the depression. The Turned-into's(pictures on one of my earlier posts) and Johnny Gruelle's books like Raggedy Ann were published by Volland.

 Art Deco and so stylish. If you use any of them please let me Know. I would love to see what you created.

Ready made gift tag or book mark.

So glad you stopped by for a visit.

 Much Love as always, Louise

Calling Card Challenge Info What would Jane Austen have said about this?

              I am so new at this!

 I made a challenge but did not figure out how to run it or what a challenge is for that matter. It just looked like fun. What have I happily gotten myself into?. After receiving lots of questions and looking into this further there is obviously more to this          

        The challenge is to make a calling card -

your choice of material

 postcard to business card size.

E-mail a picture of your creation and a link to your blog to me by February 4th 2011.

I will figure this out eventually!!! If the above does not work please let me know.

I can not wait to see how this challenge goes. Hopefully smoother than it's bumpy start.

Well I need to get this posted before another minute goes by. Much love to you all, Louise

   Hi and welcome to visitors and my followers!
   Today was an actual a craft day for me. I am trying to make a bracelet out of baby shell buttons. Shell buttons that still have their luster are like pearls to me. The itty bitty baby ones are beyond cute. I have tried to polish older ones with baby oil. It works except for really old and scratch ones. In the future I'd like to decorate a purse and a throw pillow. When I visit other blogs it amazes me at how prolific some of you crafty creative ones are!
    Looking into files for something fun to post resulted in this potpourri.

                                             Just had to post this little baby picture. How sweet.

   .

  A few fashion plates from the 1920's. What any flapper would love.

A entry wouldn't be complete without at least one photograph.

These pretty pictures are  from my reference file for making period clothing.

Lady like activities for young ladies..

This is just a quick post. Hope you are are finding time for creating lots of fun and beautiful things. Much love, Louise

The Turn-into's Childrens book from 1920 with the best illustrations!

Another day, another scan! These illustrations are from a 1920 children's book "the Turn-into's". The illustrations  have a youthful Art Deco feel and are so charming. This time my book did not fall apart! Lots of flowers, a quaint little girl and all kinds of bugs that you may come across in a garden. I just love children's books and readers. They have the best illustrations.  Enjoy and thank you so much for visiting and your kind comments,Louise
