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.

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

Lovely late 1890's Angel from an antique Easter postcard.

Dressed in white eyelet and lace, this little gal is holding her doll who is also dressed in white. Who can resist such a playful smile.

Antique,Vintage, tinted and painted photographs and postcards of little girls. Babies in a nest! Early 1900's free to use

Hi and welcome. Thank you for your kind comments. It is wonderful to hear that you like the images. More and more of you visit every day and new followers! What more could a blogging gal want. No adds and free use of images for all of you as your comments continue to inspire me.

Today is old vintage and antique picture postcard day. All sweet little children posing for pictures long ago but still being seen and used by so many. This sweet little Asian girl is so precious. I do not know what country she is from but I just love her.

Isn't this hysterical!! Three little "bird's" in a nest. How they got these kids to stay still for the picture is amazing. Looks so scratchy and uncomfortable. Three little bird's in a nest

Seems like I already posted this but .. here it is anyway!

Thought someone might like this one because it has brother & sister. Also the tinting or painting is unusual with the yellow boys sailor suit.

Another darling little girl.

It is so easy to come up with different caption because of her expression. Lots of different colors! That green on the table leg and her hair are very 1920-30.

Last but not least, a Victorian little girl with her dolls. I just love this one.

Enjoy them all and make lots of pretty things with them. Much love as always to everyone of you, Louise
