I found a couple of old books at our local Recycling Centre/rubbish tip. The covers had done their dash and the pages had all come apart, with lots of scribbles, etc, so I decided to rescue the good parts and made up some notecard sets. They were the most popular thing on my stall at the fair on the weekend, which I wasn't expecting. But they're so fun and quick to make- I just cut the vintage paper and stitch it onto cardstock with my sewing machine. I like how each card is a one-off and rather quirky in its way. Especially that wattle flower set above. The pictures came from a 1960's Australian gardening book. All the plants were photographed in a studio with crazy marbled backgrounds, etc. It begs the question, why?
I've reopened my etsy shop today- and have included some of these vintage paper card sets as well as a few other things. I enjoyed having a few weeks' break from etsy, but am excited to be back. Hope you're having a good Wednesday- the sun is shining so warmly here today.
