TUESDAY TAKE-OUT #6: Vintage Ladies

Quick post with some lovely ladies, as I'm running behind today (tonight!) These beauties are from an undated book I picked up at an estate sale this week. The artwork throughout points to the 1920's, so I think it's safe to say you needn't worry about copyright infringement, especially if you're just using them for your own artwork.

You'll make me very happy if you leave a comment! (Look hard. The comment button is light blue on a lighter blue background and hard to see. I've tried any number of times to change it, but it simply will not be changed, and I don't know how to find it in the template's HTML coding. Waaah!)

Click on the pictures to make them come up full-size.

And now I'm off to bed. (It's after midnight, but I'll tell the computer it's still Tuesday!)

TUESDAY TAKE-OUT #6: Vintage Smiles

More vintage photos this week, not of typically beautiful people, but of some that made me smile just to see them. You can feel the joy of these free spirits, I think, and I often wonder what sort of people they grew into, and in the case of the children, I smile for the bright ebullience of their children, and the happiness they must have brought the adults in their lives.

 

 

 

These photos are free for your use, as you see fit. Please don't sell them. And you'd make me very happy if you left a comment, especially if you choose to save them to your computer!


As usual, clicking on the pictures will bring them up to full size.

TUESDAY TAKE-OUT #5: Feb, Pt 1

I thought for this week's Tuesday Take-out we'd do something a little different--vintage faces, instead of line art. Feel free to save these and use as you will. (Leave me a comment, if you'd like to make me smile really big!)

These images are quite large. Just click on them to see them full-size, and if you're not sure they're at their biggest, try pressing the F11 key. That will get rid of all the extraneous stuff at the top and bottom of your screen. To get it all back, press F11 again.





These are photos I've collected over time. Such wonderful faces, and interesting expressions. Who were they? What were they thinking?

TUESDAY TAKE-OUT #4: January, Pt 4

It's still January, but February is coming, and that means Valentine's Day. And that means I have Valentine clip art for you today.




Click on the pictures to bring them up full size, and then save them to your computer, to be used as you will!

A picture of my day today:

Our water heater sprung a leak. It had been in this house for God only knows how many years, certainly since before we bought the house, ten years ago. Fortunately, my Dear Husband prepares for such exigencies (isn't that a great word?), and we had a "new" water heater waiting to take its place.

So the DH took out the old electric water heater, and put in the gas line needed to hook up a gas version, which meant turning off the furnace, water, and range for the day. By early afternoon he was ready to get the old heater out of the basement, and together we wrestled the monster up those fourteen basement stairs. We both survived, but my clothes probably did not, as they are now covered with blackish dirt and rust.

While the DH did his bit, I cleaned out the under-sink and under-range cabinets, vacuumed the entire upstairs, went through two closets and a dresser culling clothes, and then got everything that had been removed from the cabinets back. Oh, and did my quarterlies, and some other housework, and fixed dinner.

After that, it was eyes and ears glued to the TV for the State of the Union address. The DH has been asleep since about eight o'clock. For some unaccountable reason, I am not tired. Go figure.

Oh, and amn't I the lucky one, to have a husband who can replace an electric water heater with a gas model for which he has to run the gas line, and not blow up the house?!

TUESDAY TAKE-OUT #4: January, Pt 3

I think we'll do owls today. These are royalty and copyright free images. Feel free to copy them to use. (But don't go copyrighting them yourself, okay? That would absolutely fly against the spirit of these posts!)

Clicking on the pictures will bring them up full size.




Oh, and a birthday cake!

TUESDAY TAKE-OUT #3: January, Pt 2

Time for another installment of free clip art! Use as you will. (If you let me know you've taken something for you own, it will make me smile!)

TUESDAY TAKE-OUT #3: January, Pt 1

Happy New Year! I've been away, a mental vacation, and must apologize for being so absent. If you missed me, please be assured it was mutual. I thought about all my online friends pretty much every day--I just couldn't make myself do anything about it. No excuse, and I am sorry.

So I'll return with more free clip-art, to try to make up a little for my absence. Here's the latest installment, which you may feel free to capture and use:








These images are all pretty fair size, but if you click on them they'll get even bigger.

TUESDAY TAKE-OUT #2: December, Winter, Fairies

I'm a little late with the Tuesday Take-Out today. On the plus side, though, it won't go away! Feel free to use these images for any project you like, but don't sell the images themselves. (No problem selling what you use them for.)

TUESDAY TAKE-OUT #1 November & ThanksgivingI

From time to time I've posted backgrounds and photographs for people to copy and use. This marks the first of what I hope will be a long series of free clip art. These are royalty free images, so use as you will, but please don't sell them (except as pieces of the art you create, of course). I do plan on selling the entire collection at a later date, so for now, at least, that option remains mine alone.

Just right click and copy. This is a set of Autumn/Thanksgiving clipart.






Oh, I do just want to say that if you do take a helping of clipart, I'd love a comment saying so. Giving away things makes me smile--knowing there was actually a recipient makes me smile even more!
