1853 Antique Ledger Journal Page Headers

A few years ago I acquired the most magnificent antique ledger book from Ebay. It was spectacular! It even referenced a former president of the United States that lived about an hour from the store that it kept tabs for. As you can tell from the script, that this was from an afluent store, as the bookkeeper had amazing penmanship skills.

I have scanned and posted quite a few pages from this ledger.. you can find more by clicking on the 'ledger sheet' tag below.

Enjoy!

PS.. inresponse to Linda's question about applying labels to bottles, I personally use an Uhu gluestick. They stick great and with a bit of water will wash off most surfaces (like glass, walls, etc..) I use my Uhu sticks to stick paper cut outs to my walls, like bats, rats and crows. When the season is over, I pull off the paper, use a sponge and scrub the glue off the wall. No marks! For a more permanent option, you can use a spray adhesive or modgepodge. Hope that helps! 

Enjoy!!

A few highlights...

Juno used a ribbon image she found on The Vintage Moth and created a fabulous .png image. You can see the orginal ribbon image here. Thank you Juno, lovely work!

I will try to post some .png images, as I know they are great for layering if enough people would like them.. any takers? Just leave a comment and let me know what you think. For those who are unaware, .png image format allows me to remove the white background, making what appears white on the screen to actually be translucent. When you apply them to your digital work, only the image appears, not the white box around it.

Also, Kathy Caloway, of Caloway Creations, used one of the Rooster Images and Yearly Egg Count Register to create the wonderful piece above. I love it!!

I am trying my best to get to emails but time is not on my side. I'm thinking about starting a Flickr group for you to be able to post your creations. I'd LOVE to see what everyone is doing with the images from here. Oooo! How about a monthly challenge?? Let me know!

Also, the February challenge for Mind Wide Open was just posted! Come and play!

Ok, images you can use... these are some that I picked up from the fantastic (and 'oh so lucky')Rhonda. (check her blog to see what I mean.. it's 'killer!') You can visit her Etsy shop and find some marvelous, authentic antique and vintage ephemera. she has such a passion for mixed media work and HER SHOP is filled full with great things!

I think that covers it! Oh! I also added a Guestbook to the very bottom of the page! Please sign it!
