FREE ~ Easter ~ Printables Vintage Easter Price Signs

 

 

 

Welcome to Sweet Magnolias Farm first Free Printables Post.

 

Abbey and I have long been collectors of antique and vintage ephemera, post cards and vintage photos. We have an entire Filing Cabinet filled to the Brim and organized by Holiday and style.

 

These wonderful Paper pieces of the past have just been collecting dust for many years now with our many good intentions that we were going to create something with each and every piece we loved ..Ha ha ... the laughs on us.

 

I think we all have rather good intentions...but sometimes we just pile a lot more on our plates than we are humanly capable of doing even in a lifetime ...LOL !

 

So Abbey and I decided we would love to start sharing these wonderful pieces of the past with all our blog land friends ...

 

We hope you enjoy and if you do create something with a piece we have shared we would be so thrilled if you would share a photo of it with us so that we can share it with our Readers.

 

So first up and of course it's a little close to Easter, but better late than never as they say .. are these adorable and charming Vintage Easter Price Signs.

 

There are 3 different styles ...

 

Each is first shown in it's original color version and then followed by a Black and White version for your pleasure.

 

Enjoy !

 

 

 

 

 

 

We will be adding a Free Printable tab at the top of the page so you can view and save all the free printables we will be offering there as well.

 

 

Spring has Sprung at Sweet Magnolias Farm

A small but delightful flower garden ..you'll find at Sweet Magnolias Farm...

Tended with rain drops, sunshine, and little else ..

it's Blooms are Beautiful, Bright, and full of many happy smiles !

Welcome ...to our Flower Garden ...

Come and sit a while with us ..and enjoy the warm rays of sunshine ..

Where little lemon kissed flowers dance on their vines and find charming little places to twist and wind ...

Where pink Ruffles are in style ...and

The little wrens await their turn to splish and Splash amongst our many old bird baths ..

The flowers ...of spring are now tumbling over ....

And out there containers ...which contain them no more ..

Where tattered and vintage garden houses find themselves as sweet little backdrops to the blooms that steal the show....

And garden arbors, vintage bicycles and wire stands are entwined into the mix ..

It's a garden of sweet old fashioned charm .. where sweet dreams are dreamed ....And...

All Gods Beauty....

and delicate handiwork is so very amazing ...!

**************************

The garden reminds me of the coming resurrection day ...

The day sweet Jesus was resurrected from the tomb.

Just as so many thought our lord Jesus had been put to death forever ..he was gloriously resurrected .. just as the winter takes it's toll on the garden stripping every bit of life and beauty from it making our hearts long for the day the blooms will return ..Come spring time the garden proves it was there all along and is resurrected. Just as Jesus Spirit fills the garden of our hearts and reminds us he is still here with us ..the beautiful spring garden reminds us that it's spirit was also their all along.

The Beauty of it all is .. the spirit of the Lord is forever ..!

Wishing you all a Joyous Resurrection Day !!!

1920s Farmhouse and Barn Sale ...

Ah ...Does the title of this post just not make your heart swoon with excitement ...!!!

It did Abbey's and Mine ...when a friend of ours told us a few weeks back about an upcoming sale that would be held in an authentic 1920s Farmhouse and had a Barn and Wood Garage to boot !!!

I'm telling you my tummy had the rumbly's just like Winnie the Pooh ...

And the week leading up to it I couldn't contain my excitement.

So Last Friday off we went before the sun rose in the sky to grab ourselves a place in line hoping we could be one of the first few to enter and get to choose some of the prime pieces.

Indeed we were numbers 6 & 7 In line and they let the first 20 in and closed the gate behind us ...Wooo Hoooo were we so thrilled !

So Abbey went in the house ..I took the garage and barn and Papa Fred stood guard over all of our fun finds ..without him ..our finds would never make it home with us Sad to say.

So Our truck came home full ..An antique Pie safe an old rustic bow front cabinet ..Wire egg baskets and feeders, Vintage Fabric ..Old farm dresses ..and so much more that it makes my heart swim just to write about it. and I want to go back for more !!!!

So I just finished up listing in our Etsy shop the first of some of our finds and thought I would share these vintage beauties with you all ..

It's spring and time for color ..and what says spring better than some vintage Fabric ..

A stack of old vintage feedsack fabric, cotton print, and novelty seersucker ... all in bright, colorful designs ...

The strawberry print above is my absolute favorite

Florals that are so happy !

And little lambs that remind of you little pitty pattering feetsies !

And just in time for Easter ..

what better to find than a whole stack of vintage Easter baskets !

Positively sweet they are ..some are marked Japan and Occupied Japan ...and some are more colorful than others ..All perfect for Easter decorating or to use in your farmhouse kitchen the whole year through ...

These are just a few of the pieces from the Farmhouse and Barn Sale that I just finished listing in our Etsy shop today ...to take a look at more of our offerings click HERE ... and check back for more this week ..!

Now I'm waiting for the next good sale ..wherever that may be ..LOL !!

I also listed a few of my newest handmade pieces ..

Sweet Magnolias Farm Soldered Window Charms.

If you've seen the large windows I offer ..well these are my miniature version of them I am now offering.

Each one is made from an authentic pane of glass from an antique window.

I Make the custom graphics ...and have a special process of addding them to the glass.

Each piece is soldered ..and Prisms or Keys or a unique vintage ensemble hangs from the bottom ..while a sweet seam binding tie adorns the top for hanging ..

Our Window charms can also be found in our Etsy shop ...

Happy Spring to all of our Dear Kindred Friends ...
