Well, it’s Thursday so that means it’s request day again! Here’s what I found for you this week:

Just above is the most fabulous Bee from an 1840’s book. Oddly enough, I went to great lengths to get this one. (Good Bees are hard to come by!). And now I have completely forgotten who requested this!


Patti requested two babies, as her family just been blessed with Twins. Congratulations on the birth of your new nieces Patti!!

Someone else asked me for a camera…. and I have forgotten their name as well! This is why it’s best to leave your requests here after the comments, then they are in all once place and I can find them easier. I’m quite a forgetful Fairy, you see! (update: it was Anita that requested this one, thanks for letting me know Anita!)

I’m quite certain some asked me for a balloon for their bathroom. But…yep… you guessed it. Another name that my little brain can’t remember. (Update: It was Rebekah that requested the balloon, thanks for letting me know Rebekah!)

Now, on these next two, I did a little better! Jan asked for a Bowler hat.

And lastly Ella asked for a gun. This is why request day is so helpful, because it never would have occurred to me that someone would want this, and I would have just passed over it!

If you have a request please leave it here in the comments section, or on a future request day post.

XXXOOO

    Great graphics Karen. Thank you so much. That camera reminds me of one my Great Uncle used to use when I was a kid.
    If in your travels you run across any graphics with Unicorns or things to do with circus’ and carnivals, that would be great! Things like high wire/trapeze artists, bearded ladies, elephants, jugglers – things like that. I would appreciate it.

    Thank you,
    Elaine Allen

    Karen, thank you so much for the bowler hat! It is just right for the project I have in mind for my son.

    You remembered to look for the camera! Thanks so much! Now I have to make something for my son the photographer! I may try to put it on burlap, anyone have a good way since it has so much texture?
    Thanks again,

    Karen, your site is AMAZING, I visit you every day. I’ve been looking high and low for a vintage illustration of a circus tent. Any chance you have one in your vast collection?

    Thank you so much for your wonderful blog – such a great resource.

    I would LOVE black and white images of Victorian knives and forks. I want to screenprint some napkins for my wedding.

    Thanks!

    I’d love that!!
