vintage art prints

[peach]

I am looking for some prints for my nursery.

Not too expensive please!

I need 5 by 7 inches - would prefer horizontal prints but I could have the frames going vertical they just look better horizontal.

I want something in soft colors, preferrably vintage looking. Would love something like illustrations from an old children's fairy tale book or something...

Have you tried ebay?

What about something like this?
www.ebay.com/itm/Caldecott-Childrens-Books-CD-vintage-images-Victorian-art-fairy-tales-nursery-/121038242329?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item1c2e710219

The listing says you can print any/all the images from the disc.

Try 2013 calendars. Head to a nice bookstore for a good selection of art calendars. I have 3 prints I had framed from a vintage travel poster calendar.

I'm looking for something a little more cheery than those. Maybe vintage winnie the pooh or peter rabbit??? Or even dick and jane...

hmm. I am thinking maybe I just hit the thrift store and buy a book to rip pages out of.

I just came back to this post to suggest a calendar.

As much as it hurts me to destroy books...I was going to suggest this too. Either thrift stores, or if you can't find them pick up the books used on ebay or amazon for cheap. Just go to the source!

I was just going to suggest Beatrix Potter but you already mentioned Peter Rabbit.

Also try ebay for botanical prints. They're so beautiful.

these are a bit bigger (7x9), but very affordable:

Oh, I love these!
I too was going to suggest a calendar or book (though that idea totally pains me)

Searching "peter rabbit printables" on pinterest is turning up some things. Maybe poke around on there if you haven't already?
