Thursday is Request Day – Girl with Horse, Woman Ironing, Kids Reading, Guinea-Pig

Written by

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

Here’s what I found for you this week:

Well, I only had 3 requests last time, and I wasn’t able to find any of them (bummer!), so I went back a few weeks to some older requests. Some time ago, Susan had requested an image of a Girl with a Horse. This is a lovely antique German postcard.

Mailisart was hoping for an Iron. I found this image of a woman ironing in a circa 1910 ladies magazine, this is actually an old Ivory Snow ad.

Cathy was in need of a vintage reading graphic and Ariane was looking for something Library related. I think these children are so charming! They’re from the front of a 1914 Rhyme book, this is actually a book plate of sorts.

And lastly Else was wishing for a Guinea Pig graphic. I thought this one would be nearly impossible to find, but low and behold an antique book arrived in the mail, and this little critter just happened to be in it!

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 box here on my blog, you might find that the image you want is already here!

    Well Hi Karen, wow this is soo cool. Hey I am looking for a label that I saw on a blog and I think you may have it but can’t find it. It is Black De Perles Liquide JN Giraud Files Paris. I have the other one that say Balsamic Vinager by JN Giraud and it went to my sister as a Christmas Present and I wanted the other labels too.

    Funny thing about the gift..as I was giving her the gift her husband pulled out a bottle of french champagne and it was by JN Giraud! How cool was that!

    Love the ironing image, too. My request is for an hour glass. I did see the one previously posted, but was looking for one with a bit more detail that would translate well into tattoo for my husband. Thanks Karen!

    Hey Karen, love your site! Was wondering if you could locate an image of eyeglasses? That would be terrific. Thanks!

    Hi Karen,

    Since the Mardi Gras season began today, how about Mardi Gras? It’s a very old celebration, so maybe there is something in one of your old books? Thanks for all you do – I love your blog 🙂 Michele

    Hi Karen
    I am looking for a B&W graphic of a plate or stack of dishes. I used your scrub brush one for a label and I need the other to compliment it. Thanks a bunch

    The graphic of the children reading is really special. I look forward to your posts every day. Thank you for providing such wonderful art for the rest of us to use.

    Hi Karen, I really love your blog and thank you very much for the images you share! I am looking for an image of an otter (preferably a river otter instead of a sea otter). Thanks so much!

    Well, many requests this Thursday!
    I love the kids reading books; as a librarian I’m always on the look-out for book-themed images.

    And I also am in need of an hourglass image. I like the one you posted previously but can use another one. It’s funny that it isn’t easy to find good ones!

    Thanks, Karen, and I hope your New Year has begun well.

    Hey there Karen, I love you blog(found it a bit ago, and have used a lot of your images. Your such a great resource!). Anyway, I’m in need of some art nouveau images. Anything will do, though I do think I remember you saying that there aren’t many without copy rights. But I’d love if you could try, thanks so much!

    I love your clip art.
    I know it’s a little late, but before you put away all the Christmas things, I have been looking for years for a kneeling Santa. If you find one, I’d be so appreciative.

    I just found your blog and I have to say that it is awesome.

    How about some chimney sweeps? I am always looking but they are hard to find digital copies.

  26. Renee Wheeler says

    I would love an image of Our Lady of Guadalupe. And if you could add the word “love” underneath in a great font – well – that would just be awesome indeed! Not to bribe or anything, but I will go nominate and vote for your blog! Love your stuff.

  28. Maritha says

    Even though I’m frequently using your images in my creative efforts, I have to admit I’m sucking at leaving comments. I absolutely love your blog and I am so thankful for all the time and energy you put in it.

    As for the request, I’m looking for an image of a Victorian or Edwardian housewife doing some baking or cooking in the kitchen. I’m about to do a little framed image to put over the hanger for the kitchen towel, and now I’ve given up after spending hours searching both my bookshelves, my computer and the net for a suitable image (mostly 1950’s images are showing up when googling, and while I’m a huge fan of the 50’s, this time I’m looking for something older to go with the theme in my kitchen). Please help!

    Hello Karen,

    Hi Karen…thank you for all the wonderful images you share!!! I’d like to see you post Chinese inspired images…dragons, foo dogs, chinese warriors…you get the idea. Happy and healthy 2011.

    Hi,
    I am looking for some images of old Victorian style houses. It doesn’t matter if they are colored or not (I will color the black and white ones anyway)
    thank you so much!
    Love your blog, and, yes I voted for you 🙂

    Hi Karen! I am in LOVE with your website!!! Thank you so much for sharing your beautiful images!

    Speaking of which, I have been combing the internet for months looking for images of “petticoat(s)” or women displaying their petticoats. If you come across any, I would greatly appreciate if you posted them.

    Thank you again and can’t wait to see what you post this week!

    Hi Karen dear…how are you?

    I am looking for a nice crisp clean graphic of an old library card…you know author, title due date and all. 🙂 And also a nice label of a book plate. I looked through yours and didn’t see but if you could find either or both of these I would be most grateful…thank you. 🙂

    Good evening Karen
    I just started following you on Pinterest. I really love the images you come up with. I just wanted to let you know that I have a collection of magazines, letters and averts. From the late eighteen hundreds to mid nineteen seventys. If there’s ever something that you have been looking for and can’t seem to find let me know, I believe you would be amazed at my collection and some of the one of a kinds and hand written/drawn letter and such. I think it would be really fun and surprising for both of us. Let me know anytime….
    You’re New antiquary friend,
    Nate
