Antique Audubon Bird Print

I have a ton of Blue Jays in my back yard. I give them unsalted peanuts every day, and they wait for me! Makes me feel kind of special :-)

This gorgeous print is from Birds of America published in 1827, by JJ Audubon. The illustration was drawn by Robert Havell (1793 - 1878). This print was restored by RawPixel Ltd. and is free to use as long as the above attribution is added.

Hope you have fun with it! Would look great in a bird themed junk journal!

Vintage Strawberry Print

This gorgeous strawberry watercolor print was illustrated by Ellen Isham Schutt in 1911 and was part a project started by the US Government beginning in 1886 - 1940s to commission 7,500 paintings and sculptures of every known fruit. It made jobs available to about 65 American artists to “document the thousands and thousands of varieties of heirloom and experimental fruit cultivars sprouting up nationwide.” The fruit watercolors were made public domain by the US Department of Agriculture.

Victorian Calling Cards

I found more calling cards in my stash. The top is a hidden calling card with the name under the scrap. It would be amazing if someone out there finds this and is related to Maud!

Victorian Hidden Calling Card

This is a scan of another very cool calling card from my stash. What is fun about this one is the little scrap on the front bends back, and the name is engraved underneath. It's a hidden calling card. I didn't want to scan the name because it would have damaged the scrap. This is the original scan, I didn't do any photoshop.

Victorian Calling Card

This is another scan from the big Victorian stash I bought. There were several calling cards, and I love how colorful this one is. I left the top one as is, and fixed the bottom one. Not sure what that spill was but it's gone :-D

Victorian Scrap - Birds in a Nest

I was a bad girl and bought a huge lot of Victorian ephemera. Well, not that bad maybe :-) I fell in love with this bird card immediately! It was a gift from one child to another, as written on the back. I just scanned it and left it as is, no photoshop!!
