I love to share my collection of old papers and images with you. Quite a while back I bought a packet of wonderful old papers from Corey of Tongue in Cheek. They are like brittle antique treasures to me. I keep them all in a very sturdy box for safe keeping. I scanned a few for you today ~ be sure to click to enlarge, then right click with your mouse, select save image as and left click. Then you can save them to a folder on your hard drive!
When you enlarge them, look at the dates on these pieces . . .
I hope you'll be able to use some of these in your artwork. I'm not sure if you can do this with your software, but did you know that if I open one of these images in my photo editing software and then go to print while I'm still in it, I can select all different sizes to print the images in. It's designed for using with regular photos but I love using it to print my vintage images. Try printing on beautiful scrapbooking paper cut down to feed into your printer too!
Have a great Wednesday sweet friends!
xxoo, Dawn

Dear Dawn,
You give us such lovely images so often. Thank you! I wonder if today's free book from this site
http://homeschoolfreebie.wholesomechildhood.com/
would be of interest to you. It has images of birds from over 100 years ago. But it is only available today! Gill.

Oh thank you dear, sweet Dawn!!! I will add these to my computer files. So thrilled to pick up my latest copies of Somerset magazines and find your work in BOTH OF THEM. Makes me feel like "I know" a movie star {back in the days when most movie stars were role models to be emulated-that kind of movie star!!!}. Also big congrat's for having joined Joanna's design team! I'm so happy for all the fun things that are coming your way. I'm pretty sure it's a direct result of the sowing and reaping principle at work. Always fun to see nice things happen to wonderful people.

Hello, my sweet friend Dawn, just wanted to stop in and wish you Happy 4th! It's been so long since we visited. Hope all is well, T BTW, love the French papers.
Dawn,
You are one of the most generous spirits I've ever seen. The images are divine, of course Corey does have great taste! I'd be interested in seeing what you would do with these lovely papers.
Dawn you are certainly a ~sharing~ kind of gal!Corey certainly know how to find unique and treasured items!
One always finds inspiration stopping by! hugs NG

thank you Dawn for sharing the images!
yes, I joined in the fun over at Mind Wide Open..thank you for telling us about it. I have my creation nearly completed...it has been fun so far..I can't wait to learn from everyone participating..and can't wait until I can actually have a home with more room so that I can create a little "me space" to be able to create a bit more.Have a lovely evening.
Thanks, I will definately make use of these!
thank you very much, I love anything vintage :)
You are always so generous Dawn, sharing lovely things with us. I will definitely be looking for ways to use these pages. I'm hoping to meet up with Corey in Provence in October - it will be such a thrill because I love her blog so much.
Loved that fairy in the vintage jar - the poem is perfect.
Have a great holdiay tomorrow.
