Happy Birthday USA

National & Historic Flags of the United States from Webster's Elementary Dictionary, 1941

We're heading out in a bit to buy some fireworks and food for tonight's celebration. Wishing you a happy & safe 4th of July.

January Art Blocks

A dozen art blocks will be in the shop this afternoon. Another dozen or so to follow later on this week. I'm doing my best to stay busy during these short January days. Enjoy!

Veggies, Shells & 'Shrooms

I've been saving some of the best-est illustration plates from this French dictionary. Well...maybe I was tempted to hold onto them myself but have now posted them for sale in the spirit of freshening up the vintage shop for the new year. You can browse the available selection right here and I plan to post more throughout the week.

French Dictionary Art Blocks

This exquisite selection of imagery was gleaned from a 1923 French dictionary. Each illustration was carefully decoupaged onto a wooden block and voilà--new art blocks are in the shop. Enjoy!

Monogram Plaques

New monogram plaques in the shop tonight. Let me know if you would like a specific letter and I'll see if it's still available. These illustrations were gleaned from a 1922 volume of the French dictionary, Larousse Universel.

1922 Larousse Universel

Metrique (Systeme)

Exquisite illustration plates from a 1922 volume of the French dictionary, Larousse Universel are now available in the shop. More plates will be added in the coming weeks so keep checking back. I've offered smaller versions of these from the Nouveau Petit Larousse previously but these are substantially larger at 11 1/2" x 8", including the borders. Take a peek here to view all the currently available plates.
