Friday Freebies Images From Harpers 1879-1899 Cunard Ships Victorian Images

It has been a really long hard week for me...

My family has decided to sell my grandfathers

farm.  And while on the surface that sounds like really no

big deal.  For my sister and I it has been devastating.

The farm has been our touchstone since birth..Our quiet place.

I have just kind of numb and trying very hard to keep

busy so I don't think about the loss.  Because once I do

the tears just will not stop.

So...Lots of computer work late into the night...

I have all these great Harper's magazines from

the 1800's and the images are so fun.

Not to mention the history.

Look at the image about the ship.  That is cool.

I am in the process of re-purposing a romance novel..and some of these

fun images are finding their way into the pages since they fit

right in to the time period.

I hope you enjoy them today.

Friday Freebies Images From Harpers 1899 Magazine And Post Cards

Jill has been such a slave driver lately

she keeps cracking the whip over

at Junkin Gypsies

Time keeps running through my fingers.

I grabbed a few minuets this morning and scanned

some fun images into the computer

from one of the many( how many Lemay? Oh...hmmm about 30)

Harper's Magazines from

the 1800's

These Antique Magazines have been a

real treasure find.

I got caught up this morning looking at all the beautiful ads

and then started reading the

whole thing (this might be why time keeps slipping by)

I hope you like some of the things I picked out

The first image is

a beautiful one named The Nursery

This image is going into some of our special Mother's Day

Packs over on Junkin Gypsies

Next just some few ads.

I like the images

and then the front page of an article about the The Oregon

Since I live in Oregon and

my whole family are history buffs

this was a fascinating piece for me to read.

Last but not least..a couple of post cards

and a cabinet card photo.

Have a great Friday Gals!!!!

Sunday Night Freebies Free Vintage Images

Wow things just do not seem to be slowing down around

here.

And now...Here it is spring and my

husband is asking me about putting in the garden.  Garden?

Do I have time for that?

Guess I do...lol

I have not posted any free images in some time.

Last week I managed to acquire another 25 antique

Harper's from 1870-1899  along with several

cabinet cards and vintage post cards.

The last two days have been spent scanning into the computer

and I thought I would share some of

them with you tonight.

I hope you enjoy them.

A Great Day Book Browsing and Junking With My Son

 Spring Break At Last

Yeah!!!

Jordan and I have been planning a road trip

to our favorite used book store

For months.

Today...at last we had our chance,

He was up at dawn trying to

get me going.

That gave me a huge smile.

So....Off we went.

Book Browser is in Corvallis Oregon, About

42 miles from our house

Jordan kindly took a picture of me

driving.

                                                                                     

First we had to stop off at the farm

so that Quinn could have a run.

Here is a picture

Through the walnut trees

My Mom and Her sisters used to sit

in when they

were young.

Pretty flowers are starting to bloom

This is one of the burn piles from the

old barn

It amazed us that tiny grasses and moss

are starting to sprout through

the ashes

A bit of a run around for Jordan and Quinn

in our campsite....Then

Off to the book store

Ha...My pictures are out of order

After the bookstore on the

way home

we found a fantastic junk store

look what we found

These book plates were just lying in a pile of tools

I plan on scanning them later..

they are fantastic.

So...back to the book store. 

I get kind of overwhelmed in this little place,

room after room of

delights.

So many rescued books from library's all over America

old books from all over the world

A fantastic Science Fiction section (that is where Jordan Hangs out)

He nicked me for 12 paperbacks today...lol

I love that he reads

So...60 dollars later...A beautiful book on antique purses for me..and a stack of

Harper's.  A beautiful little book on friendship

from 1878

And like I said...Jordan's huge stack of books.

I am glad my hubby is out of town this week...Tonight I am going to just go through

these old Harper's magazines and transport myself

back in time.

Jordan has already jumped into one of his books.....so I think a cup of

tea is in order.

Tomorrow, more work on Junkin Gypsies and Leaping Frog...

but now...a little break.
