As some of you may recall, my dear grandparents are borderline hoarders. And I mean that in the most loving way possible, especially after I left their house last month with a car full of treasures. During our visit, we also stumbled across a few boxes full of old photographs, postcards, and (drumroll please…) report cards! How is it possible that my grandmother kept more school documentation than I did? I loved looking through those old boxes and before we left, I grabbed a few tokens to keep for myself. A couple weeks ago I picked up a $1 bulletin board from Goodwill, lined it with ribbon, and made myself a little vintage family board….
{ this last one is my favorite….I’m such a heathen…. }
If you have a grandparent home to raid, old papers and photos make a pretty timeless collection. If not, you can also purchase vintage scraps (like these) from Etsy. Have you made anything lately?
