Vintage Airmail Stickers

There must be lots of people out there who love mail, postage and airmail ephemera. This is the most popular item in my shop. I just spent the morning making a new bundle of these guys and thought it would be nice to share them with the world.


This set of vintage airmail stickers comes in a package of 6 sheets of unique labels. The images are scans of my personal collection of airmail labels. I have them professionally printed on full sheet label paper. That means you cut them apart as you need them and peel the back off when you are ready to stick 'em.

The entire set can be found here in my shop. Long live mail!

A Sneak-y Peek-y

I'm working on a special project for a VERY special friend. She is a teacher and has requested a custom calendar with a vintage school theme. Here's a little peek at the goodies that will be inside the calendar:

Vintage Paper Doll Note Cards!

I am way too excited about these babies. What you see here is so-super-cute note cards that were hand-made (by me of course!) from my personal collection of vintage paper dolls. My favorites are the sweet retro dresses for little girls - just like this! They're in the shop if they suit you! xo melissa

Thrifted Finds and More Paper Goodies

This week I had a productive visit to Goodwill Blue Hanger, where I acquired the following treasures:

A huge set of old hymn books to add to vintage paper packages:


A gorgeous Peter Pan Pop Up Book. I haven't decided how to use this one yet.





The irresistible Barrel of Monkeys. These are going into the Fun and Games Paper Goodies packages as wells as the Goodie Jars that will join the shop in a few weeks.

Also, recently I began to love the illustrations of the old Whitman card games. Here are some examples. They will soon find a new home in the next round of Paper Goodies with a Storybook theme.


This super-cute Paperchase mug is at Borders right now for $1.35! Wah-hoo!


Chiquita loves to help with photography.


Also, 3 more sets of Fun and Games Paper Goodies are in the shop. Paper LOVE!

Paper Goodies are Now in the Shop

I've been collecting vintage board games and card games for months now. I have so many it's kinda embarrassing! I plan to use the boards for a project later this year. The game pieces and parts are just so fun, though. Because I've won some of the games as ebay lots, a few are really weird. For example, the Fall Guy board game and the Mork and Mindy game!

So I'm putting together little packages of papers and bits from all of the games I have. You can find this in the shop right now! WOWEE. This collection of vintage papers, etc. is called "Fun and Games." I had a fit of glee designing the label for it. I love JT Ringmaster font. I'm talking LOVE here.


Later, I'll be putting together another collection called "Storybook." to share some of my collection of vintage children's books. I'm spending my evenings cutting, cutting, cutting, in an effort to compile a lovely set of packages.

Va-ca thrift finds and stationery in the works

Crablets are abundant in the tidepools near our little va-ca spot.


Portland is great for thrifting! And yes, that is the ocean in the background. Happiness.


Also, a sneak peak of some paper goods in the works...

Have a lovely week!
