Senorita and chicken

Let me formally add this scene to the culturally accurate annals of vintage transfer art. :) What? You've never seen a Mexican woman with a chicken on her head? It's really the best mode of transport, for a chicken. It also keeps one's lunch quite fresh. I also like how the baby has cute creature-from-the-black-lagoon hands. :) Okay, regardless, of these elements I still love this señorita pattern. And the next time I don't know where to put my lunch, I'll be sure to wear it on my head.

Old-Timey Motifs

I'm fascinated with old cars of all kinds so I lit up when I saw these. This is from a small sheet with many old-timey motifs. To tell the truth I've misplaced the sheet since I scanned this in my thoroughly messy craft space (crafts + income taxes = chaos). As soon as I find it I'll describe the rest of the sheet - all I can remember right now is a gas lamp, old-fashioned telephone, and the cute little pram below... Enjoy!

Little Girl DOW

Okay, I'll admit I squealed with delight when I saw these sweet little girl days of the week patterns. It's quite embarrassing for me to squeal with delight, so I'm glad there was no one around... :) There are 7 girl designs with the words: Cleaning, Baking, Washing, Ironing, Shopping, Mending, and Resting. I love the 40's-style drawing - it reminds me of old Blondie funnies. Also a cute winter hats border to use on clothes, some nautical designs (which give me terrible 80's flashbacks - ugh), a floral motif for a tablecloth, and 3 cute baby designs, one of which has a baby with a crown and scepter as if to say "I'm the man..." :)

I have one complete, uncut sheet from Eydie.
