The snowdrop and primrose our woodlands adorn, and violets bathe in the wet o’ the morn.

Free Vintage Landscape for Cardmaking, Journaling or Scrapbooking: Moonlight Stroll Across Snowy Fields

We feel cold, but we don't mind it, because we will not come to harm.
And if we wrapped up against the cold, we wouldn't feel other things,
like the bright tingle of the stars, or the music of the aurora,
or best of all the silky feeling of moonlight on our skin. It's worth being cold for that.
― Philip Pullman, The Golden Compass
This illustration from a vintage postcard dated c1910 shows a couple walking under moonlight in a winter landscape. They seem to be making their way towards a warmly lit house.

Free Vintage Outdoor Clipart for Cardmaking, Collage or Framed Art: Victorian Lady Out For a Walk on a Chilly Day

I love to walk. Walking is a spiritual journey and a reflection of living.
Each of us must determine which path to take and how far to walk;
we must find our own way, what is right for one may not be for another.
There is no single right way to deal with late stage cancer,
to live life or approach death, or to walk an old mission trail.
― Edie Littlefield Sundby, The Mission Walker

An antique illustration from c1880 showing a young Victorian lady out for a walk on a snowy winter day, dressed in a dark green cape and holding a muff to ward against the chill. She looks somewhat melancholy and deep in thought. Maybe she is longing for a roaring fire and a warm supper?

You can download the high-res 6" x 9" @ 300 ppi JPEG here without a watermark. Great for cardmaking and collage projects but you can also simply print and frame as wall or tabletop art.

For there is no friend like a sister
In calm or stormy weather;
To cheer one on the tedious way,
To fetch one if one goes astray,
To lift one if one totters down,
To strengthen whilst one stands.”

Free Vintage Postcard for Holiday Cardmaking and Announcements or Storytelling Collage: Romantic Edwardian Couple on Terrace in Twilight

I cannot fix on the hour, or the spot, or the look or the words, which laid the foundation.
It is too long ago. I was in the middle before I knew that I had begun.
― Jane Austen, Pride and Prejudice
A vintage postcard from c1910 showing a beautiful Edwardian lady in a blush pink evening gown and bright blossoms in her hair embracing a handsome Edwardian gentleman with a magnificent handlebar moustache on an outdoor terrace in the twilight. He looks extremely dashing in his white tie and tails as he clasps her gently around the waist with one hand while the other hand cradles her right arm. His gaze is tenderly affectionate and her smile is luminously happy.

I thought this image would be a great graphic for holiday invitation cards, party announcements or even in a romantic storytelling collage. You can download the high-res 6” x 9” @ 300 ppi JPEG without a watermark here.

With rake and seeds and sower,
And hoe and line and reel,
When the meadows shrill with “peeping”
And the old world wakes from sleeping,
Who wouldn't be a grower
That has any heart to feel?
