Glad It's Not Gone....


Would you ever in a million years ever think of throwing away this gorgeous box of vintage wallpaper? I didn't think so...because any of you taking the time to read this are like me...and if it is vintage you love it. Not only do you love it...you crave being with it. You crave touching it. You crave creating with it. Last week I had the opportunity to purchase not only this lovely box....but another box just like it. I got to divide this paper with two dear friends Lisa & Cherie and we are in heaven on earth. My friend, Diana the auctioneer at the Chamber's Estate Sale, wanted to pitch this box and it's partner before the sale even started. Luckily, Bill, the Estate Owners son thought it should go on the auction block. I couldn't agree more. Thanks Bill for saving a bit of history, and also thank-you for salvaging this wallpaper 37 years ago and preserving it for us to come and purchase so we can let others walk down memory lane and share in the beauty of something that is over 100 years old and almost ended up in the landfill.

What an awesome find, Hope! You are a lucky girl.

I was in your neck of the woods yesterday and plan to be back there very soon. Wanna come out and play?
