Vintage ad with Dancing Girls

Public Domain CC1.0 Vintage ad with five dancing girls. Image showing decrescendo musical term. Antique ad with  dancing children and cats. Ephemera

 Five Dancing Girls Vintage Ad 

 This antique / vintage ad was the front piece of a card advertising dog biscuits.
The ad served as a learning card for a musical term.
Since the card was about something of interest to potential customers
(educating their children in the finer points of music);
the back of the card advertising dog biscuits would have a good chance of being noticed.

The musical term for this card is "Decrescendo" - A decrease in loudness of a piece of music.
The memory aid is a dancing line that starts with a woman and decreases in height with girls that are smaller and smaller until the line ends with two little kitties with the cat at the end being the smallest.

Girl with a Cure - Vintage Card

Public Domain CC1.0 Vintage winter image of a little girl in a blue dress standing on steps in the garden. Ephemera materials for junk journals.

Girl in Blue Dress on Steps 

This is a vintage (or rather antique) card ad for Dr. Thomas' Eclectric Oil.
It is a winter scene with snow shored up on the veranda or park steps.
The little girl carries a bouquet of flowers and a tin pail of goodies tied with a bow.
She wears a blue hat and dress with a little cape ruffled with a fur edge.

This is great little card image for making ephemera.
Since there are no names or brands to edit out; it will also be useful for gift tags, cards, and other printed items.

Vintage Shop Signs in Shapes of Men and Women's Shoes


CC0 Public Domain Vintage Shop Sign in Shape of a Woman's Shoe. Resources for junk journals and making crafts. Pictures for ephemera printing

 Shop Sign in Shape of a Woman's Shoe

These are two illustrations of wooden shop signs.
The women's shoe appears to be split wood.
Maybe it was a drawing of a real sign rather than a proposal design for a sign to be ordered.
Both men and women's shoes had buttons on the side, and these can be seen in the drawings.

Weather Vane Rooster #1

CC0 Public Domain image of a Rooster Weather Vane. Picture for crafts. Photo for junk journal ephemera and derivative art. Printable Rooster print.

 Weather Vane Rooster #1 

 Here is another very cool rooster weather vane from the National Gallery of Art.
With a little photo editing his claws can be made to look more natural if you want him standing on a flat surface.
Or; you could place him on something round or just not flat, perhaps a fence post or a mailbox.

You might like the scene in the center also.
It shows a person walking who appears to be on a pilgrimage accompanied by a dog.
The walker and dog are shown within the shape of a sacred heart.
The Bottom section reminds me of artwork found on ceramic tiles.

The image inside is can be replaced with blank space to make room for journal writing.
