Addicted to Paper: Old & New
ad·dict·ed [uh-dik-tid] - adjective - devoted or given up to a practice or habit or to something psychologically or physically habit-forming (usually fol. by to ): to be addicted to drugs.
If you know me, you know I'm addicted to paper. Magazines, print media, cards, and doodads. I'm dedicating this blog post to my longtime love of paper Christmas decorations -- old & new. There's something sparkly and shabby about each piece. I love to "rescue" old paper decorations and cards from junk and antique stores. I especially love finding items that were made in Europe. My mother has even taken to sending me antique or retro cards for my birthday and on holidays.
Please enjoy this small sample of my Christmas collection and have a very Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!
