Apology re: Friday’s Freebie Bird Illustrations
I would like to apologize for the errors I made in regard to the vintage bird illustrations I shared on my blog on Friday. My first mistake was to identify the birds as robins. It was kindly brought to my attention by a blog reader that the birds were actually song sparrows. After confirming the…
Junk Journals
In a couple of blog posts in 2017, I mentioned that I wanted to learn how to make junk journals. This is a show and tell of my junk journal making progress. I will post today’s free image in a separate blog post. My granddaughter, Ashley, loves Sherlock Holmes. In the fall of 2017, Ashley…
Notice of Change
This note is to let you know that I will be returning to full time employment in the new year. As much as I enjoy working on the free vintage images for my blog, I won’t be able to keep up with everything I have on the go. Working on the images for my blog…
Correction for Subscribers re: Seneca Pond Crafts
I apologize to subscribers to my blog for the e-mail messages that went out a few hours ago regarding designs created by Seneca Pond Crafts. Those were old posts, from a few years ago, that I intended to transfer to an archive file. I have removed the old posts from my blog but Seneca Pond…

Tomato Harvest and Recipe Request

Where Are You?

I will be back with more vintage images to share with you but it may be a few days. Something in the tower of my computer “died” and I don’t have access to Photoshop on any other platform to be able to work on the graphics. My nephew is a computer technician and is going…
