Hi all....

https://m.facebook.com/story.php?story_fbid=3000847759942281&id...

Cherub Ayers - when you joined the group a while back I didn't welcome you! Sorry about that. So glad you are here! :)

Welcome to newer members Carolyn Cline, Amy Irwen, Boozy Barb, Bruno Andrews, Zannie Rose, Lynne Larkin, Carl Baker, Steph Dodson, Bill Lowenburg and Ruth Giles. 

Hi Carl, I like the postcards you shared. The Chrysler Building pc is my fave. It is a 'linen' postcard (linen because of the surface texture, not what it is made of). Linen postcards typically have saturated colors and white borders. The scenic postcards were also know as "views." 

If anyone is interested, Collectors Weekly has a great article on Linen Postcards.

Howdy Bill, Looking forward to you sharing some of your vintage goodies. I, too, like it when vintage and newer pieces are combined. Glad you are here!

Would anyone in the vintage group be interested in a vintage ATC trio buddy jam...

Sending out to some members today...

Postcards made with ripped bits and images from late 60s-early 70s McCall's Needlecraft magazines.

Hi Steph! Received your awesome mail last month. I'll post a blog in a bit! Love your vintage style! Thank You!

SWEET...we are 25 members strong!

A big welcome to Sarah (with an H - my granny spelled her name this way)! Looking forward to seeing your art!

I recently got mail from Steph Dobson, and one of the goodies she gave me is a vintage photograph of a child (girl?) and a dog (in motion, like most pets when you want to take a photo).

I'm guessing Steph read my comment in the group discussion about especially loving photos  'with children and dogs." Thanks so much, Steph!

Down the road I'll share some of the other children / dog photos I have!

More resources added to the group page, "Free Vintage Clip Art and Public Domain Image Sites"page. Check it out!

Join me in welcoming two more members: Richard Baudet and Carien van Hest! Glad to have you!

On Valentine's Day,

a bit of romantic vintage came from Private World!

We're up to 34 members!!

Let's welcome our newest members: Crystal S., Carien van Hest, Richard Baudet, Nancy Bell Scott, Katerina Nikoltsou, Kayenderes, and Kristin Maki Hermanny. So glad you joined!

Carien van Hest - I love the piece you shared. Tell us about it, please.

Is anyone interested in swapping art with me? I have lots of free time now because of coronavirus.

Yes, that's a lovely piece, Carien. The old handwriting seemed unique enough to each person to be a fingerprint. And the surviving examples are all so graceful. Could everyone have been graceful? In handwriting it seems they were! 

I cannot tell you anything about this illustration. I searched for vintage on a free database website and found this gorgeous lady. I cannot detect anything about the handwriting, except that it looks very old....

Just noticed that we have two new members here at A TOUCH OF VINTAGE. Welcome LATRILLE MARTINE and JORGE MARTIN! Glad you're here!

Thanks so much for having me. I love vintage, especially from the 40s and 50s. I enjoy using photos, papers (especially old books), and all sorts of ephemera in collages. I will upload some pieces soon.   

A postcard my sister sent me with my maternal Grandmother's name. 

Image of a car I used in a zine about some of my favorite vintage things. 

Terry Owenby, so glad to have you in our group! The vintage automobile image is great. How long ago did you do your zine? Regarding the postcard with your Grandmother's name - it appears to be old, but I am wondering if your sister added the name, or happened to find it that way? Either way, it is lovely! Thanks for sharing!

Oh, wow...I somehow missed NEIL GORDON joining our group! Welcome, my good sir! :)

thanks for the welcome!!!!!! Glad to be  aboard!!!!!

Hi Jayne, thanks for your interest in my posts! I made the zine several months ago. I love making zines but have a hard time thinking of ideas for them. My sister happened to find the card with my Grandma's name. Quite a find!
