I hate to admit it, but the photos you see of my home are not the reality. I spend days cleaning up and primping to shoot room reveal photos, and those cleaned up spaces very quickly revert back to their normal, incredibly messy state in less time than it took me to clean them up, so I’ve been cracking the whip, making the whole family help me clean up our messes. When I was cleaning in the kitchen last week, I {Read More}

It’s been awhile since I shared a vintage postcard, but I found this one at an antique store when I was on vacation in New Mexico, and really like the pretty scrolled font.

Here’s a really wonderful image from an antique business document from the late 1800’s. It was the top of a letterhead. It would make a really nice antique-style sign or image transfer. I cleaned it up, did a little editing, and cropped just the top of the letterhead. The original letter was actually written in response to a complaint from a customer about a chandelier they had purchased. Many more antique documents and free vintage images are here.

Today, I’m sharing a Back to School Inspired Roundup of some of my favorite projects, graphics, and decor.
