Here’s what I found for you this week:
d1blodgett was wishing for another one of the Flower Fairies, from an old book that I’ve posted from before. You can find more of these HERE.
KatieO has been searching for an old Alligator image. This one comes from an early Natural History book.
aPaperBear has been looking for some Ivy clip art. It took me a few weeks to find this one, but I finally spotted it in an antique Tree book.
And lastly Kellie requested a Seahorse graphic. This cute little fellow came from an antique Dictionary. I enlarged him a bit, as he was teeny tiny before!
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

Hi wonderful wonderful graphic fairy Karen,
I love your graphics so much, I have a million plans for them! I am a dental student and LOVE and TREASURE anything vintage and dental related….I may be the only one on your site that feels this way about teeth stuff, but I just wanted to say that if you ever come across more dental/tooth/toothbrush/dental labels I would be in heaven (I already adore the few I have found on here-THANK YOU!!!).
Your adoring fan,
Jaime

Karen,
Thanks for all the great images – have you ever run across the image of an axe? I have a great Lizzie Borden stamp, but no axe! Thanks in advance.

Thank you everyone!!
Tsa, I’ll check and see if I can find a good Ferret.
Chris, I do have clock faces, you can find them in my “Most Popular” section, or in “Objects”.
Jaime Lyn, You are not the only one! I’ll see what I can come up with.
Betty, Yes, I’m doing a happy dance!
Cgra, I have some saws on here. I will have to see if I can find an Axe.

I’ve recently found your blog and I’m loving it! Thank you for all the loveliness. I would enjoy a dragon pic, if you have one. Thanks so much for your generosity.
Cindy Ribet says
You are just amazing. I love coming to your blog and checking out all the great images. How do you have time to find all of these and collect them as digital images? It seems like a wonderfully fun thing to do. But if you do all of this for free what is your ‘day’ job?
sheilaa131 says
Hi, thanks for you kind generosity. But can you tell me how to adhere the paper labels to glass? Do you use a special adhesive. Thanks so much.

Hello Karen,
Once again great pics! I’m now looking for something Chinese in black and white (a Chinese vase or a Chinese man with a braid or a straw hat, maybe?) to make the cover of my travel scrapbook to Beijing (D-day -12!)
Thanks for your help!

Hi Cindy,
You can see my “Day Job” Here!
Sheila,
Any old glue should do the trick! I would try some Elmers or Mod Podge.
Line, I’ll try my best!

Hi Karen!! I have your cherub toile as the background on my blog and I’d love to just get the stamp so that I could put it behind my logo. I’ve started making infant headbands so you’re toile has sort of become part of my logo ๐ I’m also going to post your logo to my blog so that others can find you.
Thanks!
Heather

Your images are so great to use also in the miniature world. I used your flower fairies for a Valentine’s day greeting (http://peikkoneidintarinat.blogspot.com/2011/02/hyvaa-ystavanpaivaa.html).
Your supercute cup cake wrappers ended up on Auntie Trolls coffe table in miniature scale: https://picasaweb.google.com/lh/photo/yCeYITJA916RfYR9p9vrOw?feat=directlink
Thank you for sharing you work with us!

Hi Karen! You do such an amazing job of finding these images! I’ve looked for some myself and it is time consuming and some of the images are elusive…so since you are the graphics “fairy”…I’d like to make a requet please…vintage herbs and or seed packets. It’s almost spring and Ihave gardening on the mind! Thank you for considering my request!
Enjoy your week!

Thank you, thank you for the flower fairy. I’m just in love with those flower fairies! I hope you’ll post more in the future. Thanks again.
JeanFB says
Gorgeous images, Karen, as always!
I wanted to put in a little request, and I know it’s late, but we have a few weeks to go before it’s Mardi Gras. Do you have any vintage Mardi Gras images? Perhaps a poster, or a sign from a particular Krewe, or a vintage photo. Thanks so much for offering to find our requests!
Ruth Ziegenmeyer says
Karen, I am desperately searching for a tandem bicycle for my friends wedding stationary. Everything I seem to find looks way too modern or just cheesy cutsie. Gross. If there is anyway you can help it would be greatly appreciated THANKS!
Zora_Aisling says
I would love some retro colour pictures of fruit (say oranges, apples, strawberries, grapes, etc) for use in decopaging the chairs at my kitchen table. I’ve had a look around and can’t find many options. Even a suggestion of where to look would be SO helpful! Love your site!

Looking for 40’s & 50’s items. Farm wagon, roller skates, toy trains, cupie dolls, ect. Can you help?
Karen- The Graphics Fairy says
Hi everyone,
Just a reminder! Due to copyright laws, I try to stick to images that are pre 1923. That way they are safe to use for craft projects that you sell.
Thanks!
Karen
