I am a self taught mixed media artist and instructor living in Virginia with my Husband and our family of fur babies. I love all things vintage and strive to use those discarded bits of artistic flotsam and jetsum in my creations. I also love finding those treasures that others can use to feather their souls and their nests so please check out my Etsy Shop as well. Thank you for stopping by.
I love these beautifully rustic treasures I found on Etsy at Vintage and Main and I think you will too!!

Hi Everyone and Happy May Day!!! It's hard to believe that May is here and that Summer will soon be in full swing! I am loving all of the lush green that is covering every tree in our yard as it is a constant reminder of this time of renewal.
Yesterday I posted about creating lovely vignettes using vintage images and I wanted to chat today, just a tad, about vintage ephemera...another of my loves.

I love the colors of vintage postcards, calling cards and prints. Add yellowing edges, beautiful typography and I am in full swoon mode! I love finding vintage postcards and using them to adorn gifts. Of course, most of my friends have the same vintage ephemera addiction I do so they don't find it odd at all. <smile>

Old seedpackets look lovely framed and hanging in your home and can be readily found on Etsy and Ebay (originals and not scans). Be sure to scan them before framing and you can use the scans in your own creations. Bonus!!

Also, check out Linda's Collage Closet (www.collagecloset.com) to find wonderful vintage journal and book pages. A wonderful source for other paper ephemera too.

Think of collecting holiday themed pieces and frame and hang them for a wonderful vignette in your home or studio. Sheet Music is wonderful for this (and for collage backgrounds too)!
