I’m delighted to know that you like these Pat! They’re some of my favorite pieces of vintage ephemera. 🙂

These are beautiful. I’m hosting a bridal shower at my house and would love to use these–how do I print them? Thank you so much for sharing!
Julie J
Hi Stephanie,
If you have a printer, you can print them at home. Otherwise, you can have a professional printer or photo lab print them for you.

I’m addicted! I have a boutique event design business. While searching for vintage china for an upcoming event, ran across your website. My imagination is running wild thinking of all the ways I can use your beautiful images.

I’ve been looking all week for these beautiful types of pics as I am making a crazy patchwork quilt and wanted something different – now I don’t know which ones to use they are all so lovely … thank you
Julie J
What a great idea to use these for a patchwork quilt Arleen!
Patricia, I’m sorry I missed your comment back in January. I hope you’re still enjoying the images.
Cynthia Johnson
I love these! Thanks so much!

Hi Julie,
I love the ephemera scans that you generously make available. Thank you!
For the old paper documents that have irregular edges (edge chips, tears, ripped corners, holes, perforated edges, non-square documents, etc), what is the possibility of making those available as hi-res transparent PNG’s? It would be so wonderful to retain that kind of realistic, age-damaged patina.
thanks!
David
Julie J
Thank you for the excellent suggestion, David. That is something I will consider adding to my Etsy shop.
It’s great to know you are enjoying the scans. 🙂

Hi Julie,
FWIW, when scanning or photographing irregular papers, I use a piece of black velvet as the background. Doing so allows an easy, 1-click magic wand selection for the outline. Save as transparent PNG. Easy-Peasy!

Thank you for the great tip, David. I sometimes use black cardstock as the background but I’ve never thought to try black velvet. And wouldn’t you know it – I had a good size piece of black velvet that I once used for photography backgrounds but, after sitting in a box in my basement for years, I recently donated it to a thrift shop. Oh well, I’ll pick up a small piece next time I’m in the fabric shop because I want to try your idea.
David
Thanks for responding, Julie!
Black velvet just soaks up the light, with zippo reflection—in my experience.
Some of your old, distressed papers are so nice (thanks!) that I take ’em into Pshp or—more recently—Affinity Photo and resuscitate the tears, rips, holes and seams and export ’em as trans. PNG’s for layering.
Try the velvet on your scanner. I think you’ll like it! Let me know . . .
