If you follow my blog you'll know that I love to create things with old book pages. I have a real passion for collecting interesting old books, illustrations and ephemera. Trouble is, these things just seem to follow me home from flea markets and thrift stores, and now my house is full :) So, "why not share the love on Etsy?", I asked myself.
I've only just begun to fill the store, but the kinds of items you can expect to find are vintage book pages of all kinds, ephemera, old photographs, kits and pre-made journals and cards. I plan to offer some digital content in the near future. I put new items in every day, so you never know what you might find!
As a thank you to those of you who visit my blog, I'm offering up some blog candy and a special 20% coupon for the store. The code is newenglandstamper and you enter it at check out. It applies to all items in the store, but not on shipping. The code will be valid for one week until midnight on Sunday, September 18th, 2011.And now to the blog candy.....I'm giving away a selection items from my store and some stamps (because it's all about the stamping, right?)
The package includes: packages of my vintage French and school dictionary pages, vintage botanical illustrations, three Victorian children cabinet cards, some vintage lace and pink buttons plus one my handmade sheet music notebooks.
Plus, two sets of acrylic stamps from Inkadinkadoo and 6 unmounted rubber stamps from Crafty Individuals.
All y0u need to do is visit the Vintage Page Designs store and select your favorite item. Leave a comment here letting me know what your fave item is and you'll be in with a chance to win the blog candy. I'll randomly draw the winner next Sunday and announce it on the blog on Monday, September 19, 2011 . Good luck!

ReplyDeleteOk, I'd have to say my fave is the Vintage Flower Illustrations in your Esty store. What a great concept you have going there!
ReplyDeleteI too love vintage, but I always have qualms about cutting up old books/dictionaries. I love the look though. I've thought about an esty store but I wasn't sure my stuff would sell. I make so many cards it would make sense to sell them. Love your blog!
