Block Print Note card - City Night Sparkle with Crystal Accents

More NoteCards

Visions of the city at night or day make for an elegant hand-printed card. Rising skyscrapers touch the skies filled with the moon and stars.

Each card is printed front-and back on Italian mould-made paper using an original design from a hand-carved linoleum black, then hand-finished with Austrian crystal rhinestones. The image was inspired by Art Deco design - the first truly international style that flourished during the 1920s and 1930s.

Created by Spotbear Productions, the card measures 3-1/2 by 5-1/4 inches and is accompanied by a matching envelope. The inside is blank for your own message.

Elegant Nursery Rhymes Fabric

Screen printed on 100% cotton, this elegant fabric is 44 inches wide. The Cat and the Fiddle nursery rhyme comes to life on this sweet, sweet fabric. At once comical and soothing, we know your little one will be charmed and kids of all ages will love it, too. The best way to describe the images is by the rhyme itself:

Hey, diddle, diddle!
The cat and the fiddle,
The cow jumped over the moon;
The little dog laughed
To see such sport,
And the dish ran away with the spoon.

Small Metal Stamping - Moon Slice & Sun Face

More Collage and Assemblage (including stampings)

There are so many possibilities with these wonderful metal stampings. The entire piece measures about 3 inches wide by 2 inches high - each of the images measures 3/4 inch in diameter inch. The stamping can be trimmed with scissors (if you don't care about the scissors too much), but metal cutters might be a better choice. Or, use the entire piece. They are also fantastic for your collages and assemblages - to glue on or inlay. We think these to be made of tin, but they just might be aluminum.

Plastic Nursery Rhyme Plaque - Hey-Diddle-Diddle

See Saw Margery Daw Plaque

Cat & Fiddle Button

This vintage 1969 nursery rhyme wall plaque measures about 7 inches wide by 5-1/2 inches high. The whole story is here:

Hey-diddle-diddle
The cat and the fiddle.
The cow jumped over the moon;
The little dog laughed
To see such sport,
And the dish ran away
with the spoon.

This is old-store stock, unused and in great condition. The poem and the characters are raised from the plaque and are highlighted with golden accents. These were manufactured by Invicta Plastics and have lots of detailed information on the back regarding Invicta's company and locations. Some of these have the mounting tabs on the back that may or may not still be sticky. They were originally used to mount on the wall in a child's room - and would look great in a shadow box frame for a nostalgic touch.

The cow jumping over the moon is the delight of so very many children of all ages! The actual meaning is a bit fuzzy. Some say that it represents the rise of Richard III to power. Others suggest that it represents the constellations in the spring sky. Still others attribute the little poem to a description of Queen Elizabeth I and her good friend Robert Dudley, the Earl of Leicester. She often referred to him as her lap dog.

These delightful fairy tales are illustrated in the style of the 1930s and 1940s. The origin is printed as Made in Western Germany. Included are Rumplestiltskin, Little Red Riding Hood and more! But, of course, we love the three little crows the best. And - for a touch of timing whimsy, the moon and stars watch over the entire group. Add a bit of traditional glass glitter or mica glitter to highlight them and you'll be able to create a wonderful fairy tale project.

The scrap relief sheet is approximately 9 inches by 7 inches, ready for you to clip and use in your artwork. And each sheet is artfully embossed to accent the expert die cutting - so well done, that very little trimming is necessary.

What better advice than this:

REACH FOR THE STARS

This lovely charm is fashioned from lead-free pewter and measures about 7/8 inch high by 5/8 inch wide. The hanging loop is in the back, so that it will also double as a small pendant or focal point of a necklace. There is also a tiny hold in the back that allows you to add a charm or bead to hang between the two bottom points of the star. But, if you choose not to do so, the hole is hardly visible.

Because of the great message impressed into the front, this makes a wonderful addition to a baby gift or collage, or, indeed, a graduation present. We're sure you'll find many uses.

Vintage Embossed Die Cut Chromolithograph Scraps - Astronauts

More Scraps, Dresdens & Die Cuts

From the mid-20th century, these fantastically illustrated scraps feature lots of space scenes.

As with many of the scraps and die cuts made in the 20th century, these are children in adult situations. The advent of space exploration in the 1950s and 1960s, led to many products such as these. Rather than intricately die cut motifs, these are nicely expressed vignettes that are die cut into shapes - probably meant for découpage.

The scrap relief sheet is approximately 9 inches by 7 inches, ready for you to clip and use in your artwork. And each sheet is lightly embossed to accent. The shapes make these perfect for accenting boxes, pencil cups or other such items.

Because these are old-store stock, we do not know the origin or content of the materials, so, please use caution with children.

Song of Creation by Saint Francis of Assisi

More Books

In 1225 the infirm St. Francis was living in a hut in a church garden. As ill as he was, he wrote this poem in which he looks on the face of creation and blesses it in its totality.

The text of his poem in this volume is a translation by Matthew Arnold. The publisher has illuminated each line with paintings. Praised be my Lord for our brother the Wind is accompanied by a Corot painting of trees bent before a gale, and also an illustration by Frank Papé in which a dove is borne joyously upward. In this manner two faces of wind are shown, and the words made more vividly manifest.

In the last year of his life St. Francis, greatly hampered by his illness and progressing blindness, lived in a reed hut in the garden of the church of St. Damian. There he composed this song in which he expressed his kinship with the various aspects of creation. G.K. Chesterton writes of St. Francis:

"He was above all things a great giver, and he cared chiefly for the best kind of giving
which is called thanksgiving."

This 35-page jacketed hardcover book is an elegant presentation of an inspirational work and is filled with glorious illustration in celebration of the heavens, the stars, the water, the earth. living beings and truth.

Vintage Style Equator Sundial & Compass

This modern derivative of an ancient timekeeping device uses the reader's distance from the equator (aka latitude) to help determine the correct time of day.

Simply lay the sundial on a flat level surface and turn it so that the blue compass needle points to the N for North. Keeping the eyelet which holds the cord touching the table, then raise the opposite side of the dial as many degrees as your current latitude.

Each sundial comes with instructions and a list of latitudes (of cities, both large and small, exotic and historic) are included. It will be great fun for kids of all ages to tell time like seafarers (pirates and sailors alike) of old.

Graphics may vary.

Letterpress Note card - Somebody Far

More NoteCards

We just love letterpress cards and letters. The elegance of vintage stationery is all but forgotten. We're simply delighted that some smaller companies are offering the same high-quality papers and designs with a modern touch - so we can offer them to you! The vintage illustration of a globe, slightly tilted and the old-time font of the verse accent the richly textured paper. And, of course, because it is letterpress, you can feel the letters with your fingers.

The old-fashioned sentiment is perfect for so many occasions: birthday, thinking of you, the new year (whichever you celebrate), retirement, and so on:

Somebody far away wishes you
many happy returns of the day

The 3-1/4 by 5-1/4 inch size is just what you need for those short messages and quick thank you notes.

It is a book which takes us into a child's dream of the past in which the stars had become darkened and forgotten.

You'll surely treasure this lovely hardcover storybook, measuring 7-1/2 by 7-1/2 inches with 64 pages.
