I sure hope you enjoy these free summertime images! To save click, then click "save as" to save for your own use. You can use the image in your altered art creations for personal use or to sell in small quantities. But I ask that you don't reproduce them in their current form and sell as prints, digital downloads or fabric blocks.

A few vintage freebies for you!!!

   It's always my intention to spend more time keeping up on my blog. The time passes so fast between postings and I never mean to let it go so long.
  It's time once again to share some wonderful vintage images with you! You can use them in your very own projects that create for resale. The only think I ask is that you don't sell them just as they are in digital form, in collage sheets, prints, or fabric blocks.   Use them in altered art, decorative pillows & sachets, tags, etc but do not reproduce them exactly as they are for resale.
 To save them to your computer files simply left click the image to enlarge it, then right click and "save as". Enjoy!!! I would love to see what you make with the images, so if you'd like to share and would like a little free advertising I'll feature your creations here on my blog! Just send photos and a brief description to include in my blog post to jraeburk@gmail.com!!! Happy crafting!

  Hello my wonderful followers and friends!  It's been much too long since I updated and shared some new free images. All is well and beautiful in my world and I have been busy busy busy. 
   I am now making little girls fancy tutu dresses as part of J.Rae's Shabby Cottage Designs! I take custom orders on all my designs which are available in my etsy shop. I'm going to share pics of them here with you and in another post following I'll share more free images for you to use in your own projects  and creations. Link to my Etsy shop featuring Little Girl's Tutu Dresses & more!
  Here they are...please let me know what you think of my new venture. It's soooo much fun coming up with these designs and making these sweet dresses!!!   I thank the Lord for all He has done for me!  He has blessed me with the privilege of working from home and loving every minute of it! God is good all the time!!!!!

This is my sweet little great niece wearing the hot pink harlequin inspired tutu dress that I made her for her birthday (see below)

Hot pink harlequin tutu dress!

I love love love black and hot pink together! This one has over 72 hand tied bows at the bottom of the dress as well as handmade tulle flowers going all the way around the waist of the dress. This one is available in my etsy shop.

This one is a one of a kind creation in size 18 months to 2T. It's in soft pink and ivory with lace bows tied at the bottom and a big handmade lace and silk flower in the center of the top. It's a halter style dress with matching strap that ties at the neck.

This dress was made for my cousins little girl!

This one is a one of a kind cutie... Size 18 months to 2T.  It is 3 tiered as are many of my designs because I love the fluffy poofy look of it. I used handmade tulle flowers and feathers on the bodice and tied pretty pink bows at the bottom. Also available in my etsy shop. I can do custom order on any of the dresses in sizes Newborn thru 10/12 girls.

This one is a one of a kind also size 4T-5T. It's done in plum with a beautiful large full rose at the center and handmade tulle flowers at each side with silk flowers at the centers. It has a gorgeous ivory sash at one side.

This beautiful one of a kind dress sold in my ebay shop. It was a size 5T-6X and a gorgeous flower girl or pageant dress! I can recreate similar design to this one in your choice of colors and sizes newborn to 12 girls.

This is the back of the dress...I used a beautiful vintage inspired wide lace to make a big bustle type bow in the back that goes all the way down the back of the dress!

Teal & Ivory Tutu Dress....this dress is sold but can be recreated in many different colors or sizes.

I call this style J.Rae's Shabby Cottage Designs Ragamuffin Tutu Dress! This dress is available in my etsy shop but can also be done in any colors and sizes Newborn to girls 6X

This beautiful little golden dress turned out sooo pretty! I used matching tulle to create little cap sleeves. This is a very formal dressy dress. It has a big tulle bow at the back with another ivory rose. Will soon be available in my etsy shop.

This picture does not do this gorgeous dress justice at all. It is the most beautiful purple with a little shimmery lavender as well.  It has a halter style top and at the waist I have added a lovely silk daisy that is topped off with a sparkly rhinestone brooch.  At one side of the waist I have added a beautiful matching feather sash. Lovely for pageants, parties, birthdays, or even wedding/flower girl dress! This dress will soon be available in my etsy shop!
