Thursday is Request Day – Eye Glasses, Beehive, Mr Darcy, Barn

Written by

It’s Thursday so that means it’s request day here at TGF!

Here’s what I found for you this week:


Several people have asked me for eye glasses or old time spectacles, over the last few months. I was pretty excited to find these, with the eyes in them and all! These come from an 1880’s catalog.

Kristi was wishing for a Beehive for her parent’s homemade Honey! This brown one is classically shaped and the Bees are included!

Tracy has been searching for Darcy-esque Men. I couldn’t resist that one as I’m a huge Pride and Prejudice fan and a huge Colin Firth fan as well. Just ask my husband!! Okay getting back on topic… these men come from an old Costume book, lent to me by my good friend Ted. Thanks Ted!

And lastly Meryl requested a Barn. This one came out of an antique 1880’s reference book. This one looks so neat and tidy!

Well, that’s all for this week. Do you have a request for an image? If so please leave it here in the comments section of my Request Day post, and then check back on Thursday to see if I found your requested image (Sorry but I can’t fill every request, I usually pick a few each week). Each week I go back and check under my Thursday posts to find what your looking for, it’s so much easier for me that way. I’m afraid I’m a very disorganized Fairy, so please, please please Do Not email requests to me, I most likely will loose it if you do. So sorry but I’m a complete mess when it comes to email! I’m afraid they’re just aren’t enough hours in the day to answer them all, and then I feel horribly guilty.

P.S. Don’t forget to use the search page here on my blog, you might find that the image you want is already here!

    These are fantastic graphics! I love the eye glasses.

    I have been looking for bathroom stuff, sinks, showers, claw foot tubs, etc.

    Also, Storks with bundles! I think storks are beautiful birds!

    Thanks for all of this!

    I am a new follower and love your stuff! My hubby just took up a home-brewing hobby and I want to make him a sign, something like ‘Justin’s Home Brews (Est. 2010)’. What I really need is a graphic for a beer stein, an old beer mug or even an old barrel.

    Thanks!

    Well – Thursday is almost gone and I forgot to tell you I would love something theater related – especially a ticket stub

    Thanks for the images you provide!

    That beehive is wonderfull!! I would like to request some animal themed valentines. Preferably dogs and kittens or even both!

    I have a new client who is the daughter of a bee keeper.

    Any images of bee keeping (or better, yet a female bee-keeper with the big hat and veil) would be awesome!

    i’ve been looking for a good, clear etching of a cocoon! lots of butterflies here, so it seems like a natural association for collage-type work. many thanks! this place is a godsend!

    Your images are lovely! I check your blog pretty much everyday.

    I would really love a black and white image of a cow, if you could. Thanks so much!!!

    I was very excited to see the flower fairies here. Print Shop had a bunch of them a few versions ago, but they haven’t included them lately. Could you do more of them, please? I’m pretty sure there were more in Print Shop. I used them for place cards for a birthday with a lot of people. The b’day girl was named Betty, so I used the Bouncing Bet (the pink one you have here) for hers. Thank you so much for all the work you do!

    I’ve got a request! Could you find some anatomical pictures of teeth, the human mouth or the dentist. Preferably ones that don’t show the dentist as horrifying 🙂 Hubsters is studying dentistry and I’m looking for some art for his office. Thanks so much!
    p.s. I love the beehive!

    Hi Karen! Thanks for all the beautiful graphics, there is always something to inspire me! I was wondering if you had any Dutch windmills and wooden shoes. Thanks again!- Kate

    I was wondering if you’d be willing to email me (or post on your website) – although I’d be happy to pay for it – a high resolution copy of your vintage music sheet (I want to make it the background on a 20×24 poster I want to make)? Again I’d be willing to pay for your time.

    Desperate for some German language graphics, please, such as those you have in French (letterheads, logos, etc.) Danke!

    Hi Karen,

    Our blog uses your beautiful pink swirls and roses for two column minima only
    (http://www.backgroundfairy.com/2009/07/free-blog-background-pink-swirls-and.html)

    It would be awesome if you could reconfigure this for a three column or to work with the picture window three column. I’ve searched for another replacement, but just can’t be happy until we get this one expanded, it’s perfect for our website–which needs expanded too.
    Our cozy tearoom is experiencing great success, please take a look.

    Thanks so much for helping us!
    If you won’t be able to do this, please let me know so I can stop hoping and waiting.
