Annie was hoping for a Woodcut image of Birds with a Nest. I have to confess, I’m not positive if the one above is a woodcut or not, but the book it came from dates to the early 1860’s so I think there’s a good chance that it is. Either way it’s very sweet, don’t you think?
Bonnie requested sheaths of wheat. So far all I found was a sprig of wheat ( hmm …does wheat come in sprigs?). I think it’s gorgeous though and could be a highly useful image. I’ll keep looking for sheaths Bonnie!
Mares had a wish for a Ladybird or Ladybug. I thought this one would be super easy to come up with, but I’m afraid I’m sadly lacking in the Ladybug department. I did find this one in an old newspaper and I colored her a bit. I will continue to look for more of these as well, hopefully one that’s a bit more colorful will turn up!
Teri had hopes for some nautical images. I came up with this trio of cute Lighthouses from an antique dictionary.
And lastly Linda was hoping for a graphic of a Grandmother and a baby. I found this 1920’s photo in an old baby book. Grandma looks pleased as punch, but the baby looks a wee bit grumpy!
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!

Kim, that’s a good one! I’m pretty sure I have a Poe around here somewhere, I’ll dig him out for next week.

These are so cute! I love the pig’s expression! I’m looking for a tandem bicycle? I don’t think I’ve seen one on your site. Thanks so much for these! They are soooo cute! I love looking on your blog everyday.

I love the little piggy – just need to find a project for him! I am looking for a black and white drawing of a book. I did try and search your blog for one, but only came up with a real book (the London one). Thanks again for all your wonderful graphics Karen! Cheers, Cyndy

What adorable images! I especially like the pig and the ladybug. Oh, and the grumpy baby with Grandma is precious! Thanks, as always, for being such a fabulous resource and inspiration!
Jennie says
Karen, that pig is so cute! I’m hoping you will someday find a vintage post card of the Moulin Rouge in Paris. It’s not nearly as easy as the Eiffel tower to find. 🙁
LuluUK says
Thanks for the lovely images Karen,
I’d like to request a peacock with it’s tail trailing behind not open & up!!!
Looked at the link to your shop, made me wish I lived in the US, everything looks gorgeous!

Another great collection of images! Thank you! I have a request and I’m thinking that if anyone can find an image for me it’s you so here’s my challenge: I could really use a vintage graphic of the constellation Orion. Please and Thank You!
Autumn says
Karen, I am loving the pig ephemera you’re adding! You’re the absolute BEST! BTW, Monday parties are so fun! Thanks for all you do.

Hi Karen
I’ve already (in a week) come across so many beautiful images on your site.
Just one little request though: I’m looking for inspiring ‘bathroom’ pics- preferably of beautiful women getting ready to go out. Doing their hair; makeup;painting nails; ablutions… whatever they might be doing.
I’d prefer real photographs than drawings. I especially love some of your old pin-up girls and the lovely French ladies.
You might already have some on this site, but I can’t seem to find them. I’ve tried to search under ‘make-up’, ‘bathroom’ and similar. Any clues?
thanks, Lou
The Prudent Homemaker says
I’d like a sihouette of a wren. A wren on a branch would be super awesome. I’ve looked at all of your bird images but I didn’t see a wren. It can be a drawing that I can change into a silhouette in photoshop if need be. My daughter’s name is Wren, and I’ve been wanting to make her some things with the image.

New to your sight and have literally been on it ALL DAY 🙂 My request a plain ol’ number two pencil…to get a head start on teacher’s gifts
Princess Netty says
Hi Karen, do you have any dancing dog images? You know the sort, terrier type with a little ruff round his neck? Having sooooo much difficulty finding any dancing dog images that aren’t modern cartoons. I guess they’d be Edwardian, or similar?
Yours hopefully, Princess Netty
JunqueMagnet says

OK! I hope I have the right spot! This blogging is all new to me…I am trying to request an old style steamer trunk, the kind they used to use on ships to transfer personal items. Open and with a rounded top if at all possible…nothing like making it hard on ya….also, am in need of a Victorian style bookmark. I am new to web design and am in the learning stage, so bear with me. LOVE LOVE LOVE your art! Polly the Newbien PS Thanks for the help Karen. 🙂
