Here’s what I found for you this week:
Quite some time ago a reader named Shoni, had requested some luggage with travel stickers. At the time I had found a plain suitcase and posted it, but today I came across this fabulous vintage leather suitcase just covered with travel stickers! This image comes from an early 1900’s ladies magazine.
Christine was wishing for a graphic showing a child, who is baking or cooking, for her local school’s cookbook. This darling little girl with the giant mixing bowl, comes from a very old Mother Goose book, gifted to me by a very sweet reader named Gayle. Thanks Gayle!!
Denise was looking for a side view of a bed with linens on it. This bed is almost sideways, and it does have linens on it. I’m not sure if she was looking for something this Grand… but this was all I could find for now!
And lastly, an anonymous reader asked for a table to match some chairs that I had previously posted. I’m not sure which chairs, since I have several, but I think this Victorian table will probably go with most of them. This one dates to the 1850’s, as does the Grand Bed above.
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!

Love the well used luggage bag, Karen. Oh how I long for travels to some exotic place where the waters are pristine blue, sands are white, and the sun is shining!
I wish you a most blessed and blissful holiday season! May your home and heart be filled with much peace … P.

The image of the little girl baking, reminds me of my own little girl doing exactly that in the identical mixing bowl. Those bowls have surely stood the test of time and are still in use today.
Thank you

I know this is probably a tall order, but do you have anything that’s Swedish Christmas (like Santa Lucia, or a Tomten elf, or saying God Jul in it) or anything of a Viking? You never cease to amaze us with the awesome things you provide!

Thank you Karen. You have really inspired me! I do have a request – Do you have anything for First Communion? I saw your vintage holy cards and they are wonderful but I am looking for something more specific. If you have anything, I would really appreciate it! Thanks so Much. Katleen

Thank you so much Karen! The bed is perfect, I am just now getting ready to work on the project that I was wanting this image for. 🙂
I’ll be sure and send you a picture when it comes together!
Bari says
Do you have suggestions for the best way(not ironing)to transfer a color image to fabric? I would like to use your color images on flour sacks and be able to wash them. Any assistance would be soooooo appreciated!
Carol says
Your images are awesome! Can they used for business purposes as well as personal? I have a small business that i would like to use them for some of my advertising but not sure of the copyrights. Also, I would love to have anything that is vintage for knitting or crocheting…
Lisa says
