vintage maps

September 22, 2011 | 1 comment

Last Saturday, my husband and I were walking about our Andersonville neighborhood and came across a garage sale that promised vintage maps, design books, and other such goodies. He has a knack for uncovering beauties (his mom was a serious alley scout and antique hound) and found this lovely old school map. I couldn't believe that no one else had snatched this up (it was $40). So, this purchase started a major house re-organization, as we moved paintings, cleaned out some old furniture, packed away clutter, and generally tidied up the stuff in the house. Details from another map we have in the house, from Seth's mom:

Vintage maps make great envelope liners; from our Wanderlust wedding invitation.

    OMG! I just finished lining the envelopes for Marisa’s shower with maps of Jamaica. The invitations look like passports. I am so happy that you had a similar design. You know that I LOVE your work!
