While in Toronto last weekend we stumbled across a great little antique shop (
Abraham's Antiques). It has such nice things and no prices so I was pretty sure I couldn't afford anything in there. I was eyeing up some old letter press trays, and probably would have walked away without asking but Joanna asked for me and to my surprise they were only $30! I have seen them before for at least double and not in as good condition! At that price I was also able to get some old letter press letters to put on it! Michelle scored some Crown mason jars and some super cute red vintage canisters. Now I just need to pick a wall to hang it on and have a new mission when thrift shopping - to find more letters to fill it!

In the meantime, you can use your letterbox to hold colourful threads! Great score. This is what mine looks like: http://poppyprintcreates.blogspot.com/2010/01/eye-spyan-acorn.html
ReplyDeleteYour's is so nice Poppyprint! That's a great idea about the threads, I hadn't rally thought of adding anything other than letters - but yours looks super cute!
