Valentine Kisses

It's not long to February 14th now - so today I am sharing some vintage Valentine graphics. As you know, as these are vintage artwork pieces, they may be freely used in whatever project takes your fancy. If you feel inspired by any of these items, do pop over to the Graphics Fairy website. Here you can find oodles more vintage loveliness. Every day a new vintage piece is shared..... it really is a great blog to follow.

Here's a few more of my Valentine favourites.....

The three images above would be perfect printed onto stout card stock and threaded together to form a vintage banner. How lovely to place in the window of a period property. Or even better, printed onto fabric, and sewn onto a length of pretty lace. Beautiful!

Such a gorgeous little picture. The original may be a lot larger, so it's worth checking with Graphics Fairy if you like this image. There are so many items on the site, do make use of the good search function to find what you are interested in.

A stunning mix of doves, roses and hearts combined to make a charming piece.

Doves and roses are obviously a vintage favourite!

A delightful image .... loving the colours used. Simply charming.

I shall end today with a sweet little Valentine kitten. I'm a sucker for anything cat related, so this one had to make the grade. Just darling.

If you would like to make something for Valentine's Day, there's still time. Stuck for inspiration, why not pop over and take a look at my Valentine Kisses board on Pinterest which is full of artistry and crafty makes.

Autumn Giveaway Time

I'm more than a trifle ticked off with Blogger. My post of yesterday has vanished into thin air during the day - and I haven't been near a computer. It was the first time I'd entered a post using the new interface, and I was liking the way it worked. Shame I didn't try a short post first, but no...... dibble decided to do a long article didn't she! Sniff. Back to the old Blogger me thinks. Anyways... I was thinking that it's been such a dismal few days - why not think of something to brighten the mood. Why not have a little giveaway? Trying to be a little different - I've come up with a little competition. It's quite simple....... How many buttons in the jar? I've no idea myself, so it will be interesting to find out. To give you something on which to base your guess, I can tell you I am able to hold the little jar comfortably in one hand. Also I have used a few of the buttons so the jar isn't quite full. So.... What do y...

Don't get Shirty!

My blog posts have been lacking the last few weeks. This is due to moving home and trying to sort out the chaos. One of the things required was that hubby thin down his clothing, or there would be no room for any of mine in the fitted wardrobes. At the last count he had well over a hundred shirts. Ridiculous. Under strict instructions to free up half the wardrobe space for me, he set to with bin bags, to turf some out for the charity shops. With a large selection of shirts ousted, I started looking at the fabrics and wondered if I could make use of them myself. There's a surprising amount of fabric in a mans shirt, particularly an XL one. After cherry picking the ones that were all cotton and nice fabrics, I sat down and scratched my head for inspiration. My first of two makes is this pillow. When I began I had no real vision of what it was going to look like. I just knew that I wanted to use some of the front pockets, and make a...

Button Up

I have a bit of a thing about buttons. Memories of childhood and rooting through my Gran's button tin. Sadly I've now used most of the vintage ones that belonged to my mother and grandmother - but the fascination still remains. So I thought today I'd have a button day, and share some of the latest lovely makes I've discovered. by Amanda Meadon on Folksy How charming is this little picture? Simple, colourful and quite pretty by Saphire Moon on Crafster Not sure what these are... cuffs? Loving the way the colours blend What a fabulous necklace. The colours! And some of those buttons are amazing. Found this on Pinterest, but sadly there is no link. by Mike Smith on Folksy A fabulous piece of button art. What a fantastic idea from Homedit.com A little bit in love with this lampshade - and so easy too! Another pretty piece of button art. So effective. Yet ...
