Colorful Vintage Orange Crate Label

Today I have a absolutely beautiful orange crate label to add to the Artzee Blog Library. The colors are so vibrant and pretty. My first thought for this beautiful graphic was how cute would it be to make kitchen tee towels with it? It also would be really cool to find a crate or make a wooden craft and decoupage the orange graphic to it. If you don't like those ideas, hopefully you will be able to find something fun to do with it yourself. Enjoy!

It's August and it's Vacation Time...

For me the Summer has always been about vacation time at the beach, especially the month of August. I was extremely lucky to have had grandparents who owned a house on Rehobeth Bay and we spent many a dog day in August doing all kinds of fun things like fishing, swimming, crabbing, and of course waterskiing. I remember how hard it was learning how to get up on skis. It took more than a few nosefuls of water before I was finally able to get the whole way up. I remember the sense of excitement and pride when I took my first tour around the bay up on skis. I felt like a aquamaid from the Cypress garden show in Flordia. So in honor of those special summer memories I'm giving out for my freebie today a vintage postcard of the real Cypress Gardens aquamaids. I'm also including a link for the Gogo's video of their hit Vacation. Definiely an oldie but goodie from my generation! So enjoy these last few weeks of Summer before we head into fall!

Even thought this is probably a St. Patricks Day image, I loved the violets and since it's April and the violets are in full bloom that was my inspiration to share this! Have a great Monday everyone!

Vintage Ad for DuPont That Screams" What Were They Thinking?"

Here's a crazy vintage ad from DuPont that I just had to share because it's so crazy wrong. Who would think to put together babies and wrap them with suffocating clear plastic cellophane wrap?!!! It's just so insane it's funny! I don't know if you'll find anything crafty to do with this image but it's a crazy odditie that's for sure!
