Saturday Image Bonus 207

I have been traveling for business and on vacation so I have not had any time to scan images. Finally this morning I was able to scan a magazine I got at the flea market in early April. It is a Ladies Home Journal from Feb 1911. It is over one hundred years old and the pages are still in excellent condition. Here are a few pictures of the ads.

Saturday Image Bonus 205

Today I went to our favorite flea market for the first time this season. It opened a month early due to the unusually warm winter we had. These images are from a Ladies Home Journal from October 15, 1910. It is a large format magazine so I photographed the cover instead of scanning it. Hopefully it is still clear enough to use.

Saturday Image Bonus 196




It has been a crazy holiday season and I have not had a chance to post lately.  I am still looking for an editing software and the thought of posting without repairing the images has discourage me.  Today I am posting some pages from a December 1911 McCall's magazine.  It has some great ads and some wonderful sketches of dresses.  The cover art is a beautiful wreath with a girl.

Here are a few more pages from the McCalls booklet from last week.  The antiques flea market has started again and I need to make a little money to buy new images for posting here.  So check out my Clearly Vintage etsy shop  for some wonderful vintage style photopolymer stamps. I've been having a warehouse sale and the prices are wholesale.

Today I have five pages from a 1940 McCall's pattern booklet.  I just love the styles of this period. The padded shoulders, hats, gloves, plaids, stripes and polka dots are all signatures of this time.

Sorry for posting a little late this week but I have been feeling a little under the weather.  This week the images are from a February 1909 McCall's Magazine.  The styles of this time are so romantic.  I love the hats, the elegant sleeves and the lace.  As always feel free to use any of the images on my website in your artwork but please do not post or sell the original image on the web in a group or collection or alone.

Thank you all for all your kind words and posts about my dad's passing.  We are all doing well.

Saturday Image Bonus 152

Happy New Year everyone! The Holiday Image Bonus is over and the posts have been deleted.  I will post new images and some of the old next Christmas season.  In the mean time I am back posting assorted vintage images every Saturday for your enjoyment.  In honor of New Year please post a comment with what type of images you would like to see.  Most of my collection is from 1850 - 1930 so keep that in mind.  I will start posting images from your comments next week.  I can't wait to see what you request!

This week the images are from a November 1911 McCall's magazine.  I have chosen a variety of images including advertisements.  I adore the styles from this period though the corsets look a little uncomfortable.  Sometimes I can't even stand an under wire bra.  Imagine a full torso corset.  How woman suffer for that perfect figure.  I will try to post a few more of these precious images tommorow so check back.

This week I have five images from an October 1911 McCall's magazine.  I just love these turn of the century images.
