How can I get good quality prints with my Home Printer?
Please refer to my Printing Primer post, for tips on printing.
What type of Printer do you use?
I use an Espon Printer, that’s great for crafting, but unfortunately they are no longer making the one I have. You can read a post about the printers we currently recommend HERE.
I’m confused about Copyright Laws, can you help me?
It is a confusing subject for sure, and I’m not an expert, but I do provide lots of info (and some helpful links) on the subject HERE. Just scroll past my terms to see all the info.
Creating:
I love the Vintage Images, but I don’t know what to make with them, can you give me some ideas?
Of course! I have loads of projects and tutorials that have been created either by my contributors or myself, I think you will find a wealth of inspiration on these pages
I’d like to do some Transfer Projects, but I’m not sure how to get started, can you give me some tips?
Yes! I’ve written a post on Easy Image Transfer Methods that covers just about ever type of surface imaginable.
Additional Info:
I’d like you to find an image for me, do you take requests?
I’m sorry I’m no longer doing requests, I loved doing them while I could, but they are extremely time consuming so I had to stop.
I’d like to purchase some larger file sizes of images that you have on your site is that possible?
At this point in time, I’m not set up to do this. It can be very time consuming going through my stacks and stacks of paper to locate an image that I have previously scanned. Also, our images are never straight scans. I spend a great deal of time cleaning up the images after scanning them to make them more useable for my crafty readers. This work would have to be done all over again with a new scan.
I would like to support your site how can I do that?
The best way to support the site, is to tell your friends about it, link to my blog, chat about my site in your favorite chat room, follow me on Pinterest, Facebook your friends about it etc. Or join our Premium Membership site here! All of these things are seriously appreciated!
I have some old Postcards (or other assorted graphics) that I would like to share with you, can I email some scans to you?
I have to say, I’m super picky about what I share on my blog. I always try to find things that are unusual, exceptionally interesting to look at, and great quality. When I’m out and about searching for treasures, I reject loads of things that may be old, but that are more commonly found. I feel badly when people are kind enough to send me things, but that I feel aren’t quite interesting enough for my readers tastes, or the scan is poor quality, or perhaps I already have too many of that type etc.
Here are a few guidelines:
- I can only accept scans of images that you physically own the originals of. Please do not send me downloads that you purchased off of Etsy or found on Google etc.
- Scans must be 300 dpi
- The items that you scan must date prior to 1923 if created in the U.S., for all other countries prior to 1900 is preferable.
You can contact us about your scans using the link below.
What’s the best way to contact you?

Are all of your Images Vintage?
The majority of our images are vintage. We do have a few hand drawn images that artist friends created for us, that are newly made. We have also been playing around with some ai images that are “Vintage Style” and have been offering those as well from time to time.
