A rare find- never ending rolls of old wallpaper on a junking day!

Beth and I had a morning out at estate sales and the Old West Bottoms antique district, and while out, I hit paydirt.  Again, and again!

Which is pretty rare, to find such old, and wonderful wallpaper at an estate sale then turn around and find more at a shop, that wasn't even an antique or vintage store.

(Well, that scene isn't all that wonderful, is it? But the black, graphic background is really pretty, even though the drawing reminds me of the Sunday funny papers).

This makes up for the goofy cartoon scenes.

Most of the papers have metallic elements.

And many have GLITTER!

The only problem is that they are extremely old and fragile.  I ironed a lot of it to use, and discovered that it is best for small projects. So I cut up some smaller, scrap packs to sell in the Boutique.

I'm in love!  

 

I had to make something out of it, right away.

So, I covered this box, inside and outside with some of the glittery goodness.

These piles are the scrap packs I told you about. Some are for sale in the Boutique, ($14) one is for a giveaway to celebrate my find (details to come in my next post).

The rest will be included with the purchase of the art journals that I made with the fab papers.

You can find the books here.

As well as a few other finds, and some bargain markdowns that I put on sale. 

But please be patient with me for shipping if you'd like to order something. I'm headed to Wyoming to see family and will be sending out boxes on Wednesday next week.
