Victorian vegtable and floral garden free clip art scraps for collage and other creations
The warm days of August remind me of vegtable gardens. The smell of the tomato plants and eating crisp pea pods is a favorite. The Victorian seed books and scraps just had to be in todays post.
The Legacy is a small, but very full thrift store. Everything has been donated and the proceeds go to the Sebastopol Senior Center. The most wonderful thing is what they specialize in; sewing, quilting, fabric, crafty stuff, yarn, books, scrapbooking, stamping, embroidery, ribbon and trim etc. It’s like a Jo-Ann’s or Michaels’ thrift store. They also have vintage lace and linens. This little shop has been my soft place to fall. It’s magical. Now onto the buttons… My last name, Bouton, is French for button. Ironically I am now in charge of the button donations at the Legacy and I LOVE it. Wanting to make a pretty button card to sew the loose buttons on led me to the discovery of clip art. Luckily I found "JustSomethingIMade" and "the Graphics Fairy". Kindred spirits! Then I realized I had 1000’s of similar images, dating to the 1700’s. Inspired, I created a blog to share all this ephemera with you creative ones. All because of buttons! And that is how Bumble Button came to exist.
The pictures on Bumble Button are for enjoyment and personal use. None are to be used commercially. Family photographs are under my copyright but 99% of the time you can use them. Images from books, magazines and ephemera that I own, scan and post are from 1923 or earlier. Their original copyright has expired and you can use freely.All other images are from online sources and were originally published before 1923.
