About – Old-Fashioned Finds

Welcome!

Hi, I’m Anastasia, a lifelong lover of vintage treasures and “old stuff.” I’m an artist who makes use of public domain graphics and books to create collages– and over the years I’ve found a LOT of great stuff.

This blog was created partly so I could share all the amazing things I found while digging through public domain repositories. But it’s not enough to just be like “hey, look at this thing!” I also want to show how people can use these old-fashioned decor, recipes, and so on in their modern lives.

Old-Fashioned Finds is your guide to blending vintage beauty with everyday practicality. Here, you’ll find curated recipes, crafts, decor ideas, and printables that evoke a sense of nostalgia while saving you time and money. Each post is designed to solve specific problems—like finding the perfect vintage-inspired pattern, creating timeless keepsakes, or decorating with classic flair—all using free or affordable resources. Whether you’re seeking inspiration for your home, a creative outlet, or simply a touch of old-fashioned comfort, this blog will help you create a life that feels both beautiful and well-loved.
