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!
