Yep, you read that right – I’m sharing ANOTHER roundup of gorgeous free printable images over on Remodelaholic, this time with a vintage butterflies and moths theme!
Any fans of A Girl of the Limberlost (affiliate link) by Gene Stratton Porter in the house? It was one of my favorite books in high school and I reread it frequently, in fascinated by the world of the Limberlost swamp and the heroine’s struggle to put herself through school by collecting rare moths.
I can definitely credit that book with opening my eyes to an entire fascinating world I hadn’t given much though to previously, and for my (very) brief stint as an amateur lepidopterist. (In theory, I love nature. In practice, being outdoors in the Texas heat is seldom a very pleasant experience.)
So getting to comb through literally hundreds of gorgeous vintage butterfly and moth images for this roundup was such a treat – stunning images galore and no need to step outside. I found so many gems, I could wallpaper an entire room! (Which would be something, wouldn’t it?)
I hope you enjoy the post and I can’t wait to hear what projects you can dream up to put these images to use!

I’m seriously inspired! I found a really cool tutorial to make a faux pull-down chart. I just needed the graphics!
I love that idea! So perfect!
Thanks for the posting! I’m looking forward to giving my printer a chance at these!
Awesome! I’d love to see what you do with these images!
Hi! This post was 5 years ago, so I hope you somehow find it. First I wanted to say, “Yes!” I am definitely a fan of “The Girl of the Limberlost”. What a wonderful book! I, too, read it as a young girl, but I never seemed to finish it. Then, around 15 years ago, I rediscovered it! This time I read it all the way through and loved it as much as ever. I am now 62 years old. I haven’t met too many people that are familiar with the book, and that is sad because it is well written and beautifully descriptive, with several relatable themes! And as you said, can open up an entire world to the reader.
Anyway, I’d like to recommend another, more recent book named “Where the Crawdads Sing.” I had written at some length about it, but most of that part of my post disappeared! So, please just trust me. If you liked “The Girl of the Limberlost,” I believe you would also enjoy “Where the Crawdads Sing.”
Finally, I want to thank you for finding all these beautiful free downloads. What a labor of Love! I plan to try some altered Altoid tins. Also, I can see some of them printed on fabric and used in Crazy Quilt blocks!!
Thanks again and wishing you all the best❣️
