The Paper Fleamarket
Posted on | February 4, 2009 | 3 Comments

One last post for the day. Tomorrow I’ll share photos and a recipe for peanut butter jelly bars…they are baking in oven right now…the batter was pretty divine.
I have no idea how I found this funny little paper site. I wish I would have found it a few months ago when I was still working on my $1 design finds column for domino. The Paper Fleamarket carries all sorts of vintage papers and pharaphernalia. The site recommends using the paper for collage projects. Some of the pieces I would just frame on their own and add to my art gallery walls. Prices are super reasonable starting at just .10 cents. Check out more: thepaperfleamarket.com.

2008 Holiday Cards: Marblehead
Posted on | December 3, 2008 | 1 Comment

I included these nostalgic holiday cards in my $1 holiday gift guide. The cards are from a local printshop in Marblehead, MA. This is our first Christmas in our new town it seemed perfect to send Marblehead themed cards. I just went down to the local printshop and bought a few more to start sending out. From past experience it’s better to start early on the holiday card writing. Otherwise, you end up with cards that only say “Happy Holidays” love so and so. Assorted cards, $1 each, Litchman’s & Orne Printing (781) 631-0175. Check out more $1 holiday finds here.
