vintage printables

what if I told you that you could have a print of this lovely lady for free?

what about this whimsical, and very curious "abrakadabra" print?

or this educational shell print?

or this map, originally drawn in the 1600's, which displays an interesting view of the world. The Great Lakes are taking up about a 5th of America, and California is apparently, in fact, an island!

I am just now getting around vintage printable, and I am overwhelmed with all the possibilities! It's a website filled with pictures, portraits and prints that are public domain. Go and find yourself several matching frames on clearance from a place like Michael's, print off a series of prints straight from your computer, hang them up in a fun pattern on the wall, and you have yourself an instant art collection. Sure, a computer print won't look quite the same as the real thing, but no one is going to be looking closely enough to tell.

You could print off a series of book covers like this for a study, or simply above a desk, or a series of female portraits in ornate frames for a feminine yet grown-up room, or a series of maps in plain brown frames for a more masculine look. The possibilities go on and on.

I wish it was still holiday season, because there are so many cute crafts you could do with these sweet vintage snowflake charts.

Happy printing!
