Welcome to Free Vintage Ephemera!

Hi and welcome to my newest venture, a blog devoted exclusively to offering you vintage ephemera...for free!  For years I've been scouring the internet and other sources for perfect images to incorporate into my own art pieces.  I found that I really love hunting for these images almost as much as using them in my art.  In fact I have so many great ones, that I've decided to start sharing them with you.  This will give me even more excuses to search for more fresh material to bring to you.   I hope you have as much fun using these images as I do finding them for you!

So let's get started!  First please read my easy-peasy rules below:

Please feel free to use any vintage images I post for your personal or for profit use.  You may upload,print and use these images for your art and crafting  projects.

Please DO NOT post these images on your website or blogsites, unless they are incorporated into a completed project(such as a tag or collage).

Please DO share my link with your crafty friends!

Enjoy,

Arbutus  :-)

PS:  Please let me know what you think.  I value your opinions and would love to hear which images you like best, or what images you may be looking for.  So please comment often!

  3. I feel like I've won the lottery when I came across your site! I could browse this all day - in fact, I've happily lost a few hours here already!

    I love Marie Antoinette, anything French (script, postcards), birds/eggs, rabbits and crowns!

    Merci!

  7. Hi, I have downloaded many images from this site before, but now I've actually used one for a poster of a streettheater festival that takes place every year on the first Saturday of the school summer holidays here in Belgium. Please take a look at the link, see the lady with the binoculars? She comes from this site and I actually started my poster with this image. http://pinterest.com/pin/163325923956720678/
