Vintage Advertisement: Mincemeat/Plum Pudding


Hello.

Today I am sharing a vintage add for mincemeat.



My mother-in-law made an apple pie with mincemeat on it last weekend.
I always thought that mincemeat had to have meat in it,
but it is the fruit and spices used on the mincemeat pie.

It was very good, too.




Here is a black and white version.




Here is an antiqued version.



These ads are from a late 1800's magazine,
so as far as I know, they are free for you to use as you'd like.


Thanks for stopping by!

Free Vintage Image: Bicycle Advertisement/Bike.


Hello!

With the weekend here and such beautiful weather
(at least in our area),
it will be very tempting not to hop on the bike and take a ride with my daughter.

She's always game for a bike ride...
always asking me to join her for one.



It is so enjoyable, but the apples are incredible on our tree this year,
and I already have a crate in the kitchen waiting for me to cut up and put in the dehydrator.

Still, I think a bike ride is going to win out sometime this weekend.

I found the above advertisement in the back of an old magazine from the later 1800's.



Here it is cleaned up in black and white and...



 the antiqued version.
I am posting a blue version as well,
because my daughter picked out this color for me to made a project for her room.

Can you guess what it is for?

I'll try to finish it soon to show you.

Here is a cropped image of just the bicycle.



Finally, an antiqued bike, too.





Have you been on a bike ride lately.

It does something to the heart,
I mean, beside the exercise part of it.

It just makes one feel a bit like a kid again,
don't you think?

Thanks for stopping by and have a memorable weekend.

(These images are old enough to not be copy-righted, as far as I know,
so use them as you wish).

Vintage Illustrations: Fishing.


Hello, friends!

Today I am sharing some fishing illustrations I found in a late 1800's magazine.


This is a busy ad.


Here is the image cleaned up in black and white.






Here it is antiqued.



I then cropped it and created just the bottom part of the image.



Here is the bottom part antiqued.



I thought the fish alone looked like a fun image.





And then I took off some of the wording.





Lastly, I decided the hand holding the fishing pole might look great alone.










These images are free for use.

I think we all know somebody who loves to sit with a fishing rod and catch a hungry fish.

I have to admit I wish I had more time for it myself.
What about you?  Do you enjoy a quiet day at the lake with a fishing pole?


Have a great week 
and
thank you for stopping by.
