Free Vintage Digital Images

I was thinking that I’m a bit overdue on sharing some free images with you...and since I found some fun vintage goodies on my latest trip to the Alameda Flea Market last Sunday, what better time than now. The tags are from a stash of watchmaker’s parts, the box front as well. I Photoshopped out the address info so you can add your own. And I’ve also tossed in some beautiful end papers from a 1918 book (red) and an old ledger (green). If you use them, I’d love to see the results!
Click on any of the images above for the larger files. And, as always, my images are free to use in your personal and commercial projects. I only ask that the images themselves shared here are never sold. Thank you.

When I read that you were at the Alameda Flea Market it made me miss "home". After living my entire life in California Bay Area we moved to Eastern Washington 2 years ago. I love it here, but MAN--I miss that greet flea market!

Thanks so much for sharing your treasures from an awesome place : )

thanks for the digital images!! too sweet.. is this the flea market that you went to? http://alamedapointantiquesfaire.com/index.php

i have only been there once, and it was huge and overwhelming - unfortunately, i didn't have a lot of time. but it sounds like you have had success finding some neat items there.

have you been to the Coliseum Swap Meet? (5401 Coliseum Way, Oakland, CA 94601-5021) - i'm interested to see if that is worthwhile too..

thanks again!

I just wanted to let you know how much these inspired me. I have been craving a way to re-do my blog with something that was nostalgic yet not too over the top. Thank you SO much, and congratulations on a lovely find.

thank you for the clock faces. I have just finished re-painting my kitchen and the wall clock looked like it needed to be replaced. Instead I am going to print a new face and paint the outside rim. Thank a heap.
