Just a thought as we enter 2011........

Let go of the past and reach forward...

Vintage Paper Ephemera.....Great For Crafts and Scrapbooking!

I love scouring thrift shops, flea markets, garage sales, auctions, etc. for old magazines, books and sheet music.    Vintage paper ephemera can add a wonderful nostalgic touch to scrapbook layouts.  Here are some of the items I've created recently from some old sheet music, a vintage French novel, and a vintage atlas.

I plan on using the flowers I created from the French novel and the butterflies on the bottom in a heritage scrapbook I am currently making (featuring members of my hubby's family).  It's been so much fun looking through the old photos and planning layouts!  I've also listed all of these embellishments in my Zibbet store.....all for $1.90 or under!!!!

Have a wonderful day everyone!!

Welcome fall!

Chilly nights, leaves starting to change colors....all signs that fall is almost here!  I recently added my first "fall" themed items to my Etsy shop.  These vintage Iroquois bowls designed by Ben Seibel are mid-century fabulous!  Use them to add an autumn touch to your decor as candy dishes or (as they were originally intended) as bowls to sip soup out of on those chilly evenings!  Click on the picture for more details!
