For yourself, for someone else, for a special occasion--there's nothing like 
a custom-made purse or pillow from "Oh, This Old Thing?" Use my images
and/or your own. Here's everything you need to know:
What Kind of Images Can I Use?
I have thousands of wonderful images (too many to display here), most of which 
date from the early 20th Century to the mid 1960s. Greeting cards, postcards,
playing cards, album covers, sheet music, matchbooks, catalogues, pamphlets,
color plates from art books, cookbooks, encyclopedias and dictionaries and
children's literature and textbooks. With the exception of fine art, these are the
originals--not reproductions.     If I don't have what you're looking for, I can probably
find it. What are your or your gift recipient's professions, hobbies, pets, tastes in art
and music, favorite travel destinations? Do you want two similar images--say, a
pair of pillows with vintage automobile ads--or even a series (a different botanical
print purse for each of your bridesmaids?) It's all do-able. Just tell me what you need.
WHAT OTHER KINDS OF IMAGE(S) COULD I USE?
Anything that can be placed on a color copier can be transferred to fabric. YOUR
ORIGINAL WILL BE RETURNED UNHARMED! An old family photo or a favorite
snapshot, mementos (wedding invitations, ticket stubs, theater programs, cocktail
napkins), newspaper clippings, your own artwork. For inspiration, check out the
shop and custom work galleries.
