Vintage Green Around the House


Is it too early for green?? I thought the blizzard people would like a reminder of what that color looked like!

Valentine's Day is a perfect time for vintage and handmade little presents! Inexpensive finds or simple, pink and red works from your hands will make them feel loved. Pictured here are some found objects and ephemera creations to celebrate love and giving.

I (anatomically) Heart You


Because sometimes you get a little tired of fussy and feminine, and need a little masculine, scientific, geekery in your life! Crafted from a falling apart 1932 HS text book, you can make your own from library discards, or these are available for purchase in my shop, VintageScraps.etsy.com, link to the right :)

She's a hot pink girl



My niece Natalie (11 years old) and my sister Jill (age unmentionable) recently finished creating this bedroom fit for a princess! Which is a good thing, because Natalie is, in fact, a princess :) I love the French flair, the Parisian Market look they created.

There's just something about antique French ephemera, illustrations and text pages, that seem to create perfect Valentine gifts and deocrations!
