Free clip art for best friends. Antique images,postcards and photographs for scrap booking, ATC, greeting cards and collage

Hi everyone! Welcome to all you new visitors and dear followers.

 On my last visit to the legacy there was a box of free wool yarn in front of the store. There is always something free out there! The reason this beautiful yarn was out there was because it smelled incredibly musty. It was truly terrible. But the colors were fabulous so I packed it up to take it home. Luckily I had a big plastic bag in my car to contain the odor.  Next I did something that will make all you knitters cringe. I washed all of it in the washing machine on hot! Twice! No more stinky yarn.  Not the kind of stuff to knit a sweater but perfect for other projects.

So many images to pick from makes it hard to settle on a theme.

First is one of the cutest photographs ever. Not sure if she doesn't want to leave or she does not want you to leave. Just precious!

 On to the theme of the day Best Friends! I looked for pictures to honor those special friends that we have a special connection with. Or a sister. 

If you use images please be sure and mention that you found it on bumble button.

Thank you for visiting and following my little blog. I enjoy posting pictures for you all so much. Hope your day is a creative one, Louise

Victorian clip art and images of Darling Sweet Babies. Free for use in collage ATC scrap booking or as instant art.

Just babies. Lots of cute sweet babies. 

 All the images are taken from antique postcards, books and magazines. Most are from the Victorian or Edwardian years.   Hope you find the pictures in today's post as beautiful and interesting as I have.

Remember when our own children did this? What a wonderful milestone for baby and the dotting parents.

A moment to reflect once dear little one has fallen asleep.

Another favorite originally from an antique  nursery rhyme book.

The layette items are from an antique french magazine. If you have ever wondered what nappy's and diapers looked like in the 1800's, now you know!

Fur lined booties to keep baby's feet warm and toasty.
