For this swap you will be creating a total of four ATCs. Two cards for two partners.

The theme is Vintage Labels such as soaps, liquors, soft drinks, cigar bands, perfume, and there are so many more!

Just be sure to incorporate a label into your ATCs in some way.

Remember that there is only one rule for ATCs and that is their size. They must be 3.5 x 2.5 inches.

I will remove players with very low feedback so if you have special circumstances and want to play, please write to me.

Have fun and make your very best art!

I've just recently discovered my love for vintage items and am only starting my vintage collection. Any suggestions on where I can find things with vintage labels on them? I would love to do this swap but need to find the right supplies first. Thanks!

Would it be possible to give us more than 12 days to get these out?

HHC 02/ 3/2007 #

Do they have to be the actual vintage labels, or can it be a replication or photo copy?

There is a yahoo group i'm a part of, called ImageWarehouse, where i have posted a bunch of vintage labels for people to download. or you can e-mail me and i'll send you the image. Dianne

i love all things vintage and collect all kinds of ephemera. its hard too find sometimes and a good source for reproduced stuff are beth cotes' books ephemera and ephemera too.

I have not decided to join this swap (yet), but wanted to mention that Manto Fev is a good source for vintage stuff: http://www.mantofev.com

I sometimes buy vintage fabric pieces as well as paper and other ephemera. I find their prices mostly quite reasonable and shipping is OK too. Anyway, it's fun to look at their stuff even if you decide not to buy.

Try Dover Publications...doverpublications.com for cd roms of vintage images or old magazines. Our library has a free pile of books, magazines etc.

I saw a couple questions here about the labels. They do not have to be real labels. They can be from collage sheets or downloads from the internet. Another good source for vintage ephemera is Flickr. www.flickr.com You can search vintage labels and then print the photos people are willing to share.

I wanted to let my partners know that I will send their cards, there has been a family emergency that has delayed all of my swaps. I apologize and will get things out ASAP. I have also tried to contact everyone directly. Thank you for understanding!

this swap's send date was along time ago... i was secretly hoping that brigitte was one of my partners because my partner apparently flaked out... but no .... it was serenity ... and just so the swap-bot world knows... she has been my partner twice and flaked both times, and she has been in swaps that I started and flaked on them too... and in the world of swap-bot where the rules of kharma apply... guess what... I'm her f**ing secret pal... should I bother to waste my postage by sending to her???

grandmaroro 03/ 9/2007 #

Brigitte - I received your email and appreciate your efforts to complete your commitments to your swaps, but my other partner, who only had a rating of 3, hasn't even done that. I don't know why she was allowed to participate in the first place. Looking forward to receiving your cards. Best wishes to you and your family, Joan.

grandmaroro 03/ 9/2007 #

Unlucky aka Simply Sarah - You can either "take the high road" and fulfill your commitment or you can "stoop to her level" and ignore it. I vote for sending a "token" rather than a normal "secret pal" gift. Sometimes I don't hear things until they come out my mouth --- and THAT was just tacky on my part. Sorry. I'm afraid it is up to you - - -

boatingbelle 03/13/2007 #

Thank you, Jane for your Vintage Label ATCs which arrived today. Regards, Margot.
