After receiving many comments on the vintage French labels I showed here a few posts ago, I have done a little quick research and found a couple of blogs well worth checking out if you are interested in finding that sort of thing to use for your creative works.
Firstly, a website that many will already be familiar with - The Graphics Fairy
Lots of free Vintage printable downloads here!
And another great blog, Vintage Feedsacks, which has free vintage clip art, including wonderful labels and backgrounds.
Click on the blog names to visit their sites - they are both well worth a visit if you love vintage labels, posters etc!
And on the subject of vintage french things, I was excited to unpack this lovely vintage Toile which arrived this morning - about a metre and a half of beautiful blue and off white toile.
No idea whether it is French or not, and it wasn't sold as such, but you can tell its old by the look and feel of it, and by the rust marks along the selvedge - and a bargain at £1.99 from eBay!
It has the most wonderful rural scenes printed on it.
Can't wait to use it!
But I do have three pieces of vintage french fabric on the way from France as we speak, and am looking forward to receiving those!
