Pitcher & Simple Country Bouquet



I love enamelware pitchers. Add
a simple country bouquet, and you
have a real thing of beauty.


I'm patiently waiting for the perfect pitcher, so I can
have a bouquet like this on my kitchen table. Until then,
 milk glass vases and mason jars will do just fine.


Here are the free graphics

Prim Rooster & Hen

"I suppose the pleasure of country life lies
really in the eternally renewed evidences
of the determination to live."


~ Vita Sackville-West, Country Notes ~


 5"x5" label



2 tags ~ approx. 2.5" x 4"


 Here are 2 sheets of printable tags for you!
The sheet above features 6 tags, in 2 sizes, with
the country life quote found at the top of this post.
Below is the second sheet of tags, all approx. 2" x 3."

This is the image used in the tags & label. 
It was tinted sepia, and has a transparent
background (PNG format).

Just wanted to add a little note about the reason I made these...  Julie, from The Old Design Shop, asked if I could come up with some tags (using her Langshan rooster & hen graphic) for a friend who sells primitives.  I left space above the rooster & hen on the tags, in case she would like to personalize them with a name, etc.  Also thought 3 different sizes would work well for pricing different sized items.  Hope these will work for your friend, Julie... and thank you for asking me to make them! 


As always, thank you
