What child collected vintage books because they thought they were beautiful and smelled amazing..that would be me.
I can not walk past a paper shop…it is truly one of my very favorite kinds of shops in the world.
I am a fan of vintage books, cards, sheet music and any vintage ephemera I can get my hands on!
It is the history lover in me that loves touching the past.
When I look back on what I have been drawn to over the past 15-20 years it doesn't surprise me in the least that papers…new and old….are at the heart of my creations.
In honor of this love of mine…..my last day of sales will be all items in my shop that are made of paper.
All of the paper items have been marked down and free shipping will still apply.
(originally $14)
Today the children and I will be making candy with friends.
My vow to not each sugar..is well…not working right now!!!!
I hope you have an incredible weekend!!!
Guess what????
This was my 200th post and you know what that means:-)
I will have a wonderful giveaway planned for next week!!!!
i’m a paper girl, too…remember ‘paper by the pound’? i spent hours choosing colors & sizes & envelopes…sigh…what is it about paper?…your products are so pretty, as always 🙂 (ps i just read your post about kelly…i’m so glad that everything is okay…i can’t even imagine how scary that was…blessings on your sweet family…)
i love paper too…i adore what you did with your papers Jeanne…your little twisted fabric flowers are so cute!!!
Jeanne, Count me in with the “paper girls” – I have always loved paper of any kind. We have a used book store in town and I could spend HOURS in there going through old books, looking for wonderful paper pages. Old, new, it doesn’t matter – I love it all!
Blessings,

I love what you do with paper girlie. Such a neat gift! Have a wonderful weekend Jeanne.
BTW Brian is ready to move to Colorado. He’s never met you, but he wants to be neighbors…HA! When it’s this cold…it doesn’t take much to make him want to jump ship:)
they are all just beautiful. I LOVE them!!!
And congrats on your 200th post…that is sooooo exciting!
That is a great way to use songsheets!!! I could decoupage my kitchen table with them, I swear. But then I’d get in trouble and I don’t want that before the holidays. A girl can’t be grounded the week before Christmas.
Love old papers…and I love what you do with paper! I own 2 of your pretty papered frames. They make me smile:) Congrats on 200 posts!
love those fabric flowers! look forward to seeing you all soon!
And there are so many amazing choices for paper today! Walk into any craft store and a plethora of beautiful, textured paper awaits you.

No sugar now? Isn’t that a little nutty? (I’m just finishing up the crumbs from the last of one box of peppermint bark)

Jeanne……that hat……you have in the shop….IS AWESOME…please tell me if it’s silk or a rayon blend….i totally rushed to my measuring tape and I’m a 21″ head –
if you want to barter with anything let me know…..we could do that instead…..
