Ephemera and vintage images - Off to Miniatura

I'm off to Miniatura in the morning and meeting up with Debie from Piskies and Poppets
Its going to be a really early start but even so i am looking forward to it loads.
I'm even going to Debies for tea. Hope she can cook, lol!
















Quite a few people have asked where i got the little letters, envelopes and postacards from that i put in the witchy cupboard.

Quite a lot of images are available if you search using google images. You need to look under vintage letters, vintage envelopes and postcards, vintage labels etc.
You can also type in as above with ephemera inplace of vintage.
You can even narrow your search to specifics such as halloween, thanks giving and christmas etc.

Here is a sample of a few i found ever so quick to show you what is available. Not all of the images can be copied but some are free to use as you wish.
Some of the images are from digital stock and are sold as digital images.


For the images that are free to copy just paste them into word or a picture editing programme and resize.

You can also stain your paper with tea and coffee before printing. The possibilities are endless and in no time cupboards and drawers can be filled with lots of interesting little finds.

I love the sewing one! The little child one with the clothes to dress a doll is beautiful too!

    Rats! I know I left a message earlier.... Anyway...how lucky are you to go to such a great mini show! And with such a good friend. As Pooh says, it's always better with two! Enjoy and bring pix back if you can.
    Oh, and I'm sure Debie's a fine cook....

    Love the little printies!! Can never have enough of those!! And those book covers are so pretty! I have been digging through everything around here, copying every enevolope I can find, to add more character to may house. Luckily my Mom had saved all that for me:)

    So, I really stopped by to tell you I was thinking of you today:) I have been making real candles for the dollhouse....and I'm using crayons to color them........and then today, I found it!! A Robin's Egg Blue crayon!!! I will get pictures up sometime....but just wanted to tell you they're really pretty!!
