Vintage handpainted block circus folk from Three Potato Four.

I wish I had enough pennies in my pocket to buy these little fellows. Boo, hoo! Sob, sob!

Vinyl revival

I came across this sweet vintage record over at Three Potato Four's blog the other week. I think these old record sleeves make great wall art for kids' bedrooms, as well as providing hours of enjoyment, away from the TV. We pay regular visits to charity shops as a family and Savannah and Miles picked up a lovely vintage circus record on our last trip. I found these two original records within five minutes on etsy:

Vintage Let's be policemen record from Nana's Cottage House

Vintage Chinese nursery record by The Hamster and the Guppies

Vintage vinyl's upcycle possibilities seem endless. I've chosen a few examples of work by artists committed to re-using these defunct discs and covers, but I've really only just scratched the surface (ha!, ha!).

Have a look through your personal collection, I'm sure you'll find something to display, frame or even upcycle.

Take your pick!

I love paper goods. I like to buy original notesets, notebooks, cards, travel journals, calendars and exercise books. I also have boxes and boxes of vintage bits and pieces that I save for the right occasion, the right present, the right school project... I always find a use for torn wrapping paper, old postcards, gift bags and envelopes, it's the compulsive 'reuse, recycle, recreate' streak in me you see.
However, I now know that I am not alone. There are some very clever people out there making my paper hunting task easier. The only problem I have now is deciding which one to choose!
