Printable Vintage Fashion Illustration for Collage Art, Junk Journal, Papercrafts or Scrapbooking: Costume Party, 1870s

Lila had discovered that the hardest part of her charade
was pretending that everything was old hat when it was all so new,
being forced to feign the kind of nonchalance
that only comes from a lifetime of knowing and taking for granted.
Lila was a quick study, and she knew how to keep up a front;
but behind the mask of disinterest, she took in everything.
She was a sponge, soaking up the words and customs,
training herself to see something once and be able to pretend
she’d seen it a dozen—a hundred—times before.
V.E. Schwab, A Gathering of Shadows

Two ladies and a girl at a costume party, 1870s

Printable Vintage Fashion Illustration for Altered Art, Graphic Design, Papercrafts or Scrapbooking: Edwardian Mother and Child at Christening, 1904

Sometimes when you pick up your child
you can feel the map of your own bones beneath your hands,
or smell the scent of your skin in the nape of his neck.
This is the most extraordinary thing about motherhood -
finding a piece of yourself separate and apart
that all the same you could not live without.
Jodi Picoult, Perfect Match

“After all," Anne had said to Marilla once,
"I believe the nicest and sweetest days are not those
on which anything very splendid or wonderful or exciting happens
but just those that bring simple little pleasures,
following one another softly, like pearls slipping off a string.”

Printable Vintage Fashion Illustration for Collage Art, Graphic Design, Papercrafts or Scrapbooking: Twin Brides on the Terrace, 1892

After all, what is happiness? Love, they tell me.
But love doesn't bring and never has brought happiness.
On the contrary, it's a constant state of anxiety, a battlefield;
it's sleepless nights, asking ourselves all the time
if we're doing the right thing. Real love is composed of ecstasy and agony.
Paulo Coelho, The Witch of Portobello

Printable Vintage Fashion Illustration for Altered Art, Graphic Design, Papercrafts or Scrapbooking: A Touch of Melancholy, 1893


I went to bed and woke in the middle of the night thinking I heard someone cry,
thinking I myself was weeping, and I felt my face and it was dry.

Then I looked at the window and thought: Why, yes, it's just the rain,
the rain, always the rain, and turned over, sadder still,
and fumbled about for my dripping sleep and tried to slip it back on.
Ray Bradbury, Green Shadows, White Whale

And I rose
In rainy autumn
And walked abroad in a shower of all my days...
Dylan Thomas, Collected Poems
