Vintage Graphic: Handsome Frame with Dog

My grandson's longtime pet and companion, Bruce, passed away today, and in tribute,
I'm releasing this handsome vintage frame. Originally part of an illustration in an out of
print book, I think it works well as a frame for a portrait of Man's Best Friend. - Judy

Vintage Image: Gramaphone

This is a classic style old gramaphone, with the horn and crank. I can almost hear the music on the old black disc. I wanted to bring you both the original image as I found it, and a cleaned up version with the background removed, and then a tinted copy. Hope you can use them! - Judy

Here is a wonderful vintage Jell-o advertisement, with a cute little boy sneaking a taste! It even includes a sweet little poem to make it totally charming. Notice the list of flavors - wonder why the chocolate didn't catch on?  Enjoy - Judy

Early 1900's Glamour Girl

From an early 1900's book entitled: "Woman as Decoration," this whimsical image is a delightful addition to any graphics collection! The glamorous lady has a coy expression that begs for a caption. What do you think? Enjoy - Judy
 
 


Free Vintage Graphics: Stunt Gun w/Flag

I love this one: The gun was the original image, and I added the flag. If you've ever seen an old silent film where such a prop was used, you'll recognize this. How fun it would be to use this on a greeting card or placecard, with the blank flag to put your own words or a name inside. Enjoy! - Judy

FREE Classic Letters & Borders

These vivid images come from an out-of-print book entitled: "The Art of Illuminating." I've included a sheet of various, as well as some clipart borders from the same book. They're not as large as I would like, but enlarging them made them less distinct. I think they're stunning. Enjoy! - Judy
