Note: most of the links on this post no longer work, as we moved to a new Web site in 2018. But you can try searching on the same names (as links below) on the new site.

It’s a catch-up newsletter: all kinds of pretty things that arrived recently but didn’t fit into the themes of swaps.

Alphabet Playing Card Stickers
Die-cut cardstock stickers with rounded edges (based on vintage Victorian scraps of children, flowers and women). 26 alphabet stickers plus 4 blanks to decorate yourself. Full sheet is approx. 9-3/4 x 10-3/4″.

Child’s Play Scrapbook Paper
Vintage pages from toy catalogs and dominos. 12″ x 12″, double-sided heavy sheets. Printed in the USA (that’s a rarity with large scrapbook paper companies).

Miniature Dice
Adorably tiny (5mm) dice. Sets of 25 in ivory or black.

Mahjongg Tiles
Bone and bamboo tiles. Etched and hand-painted (and side-drilled for stringing).

B Is For Boy Cardstock Stickers
Die-cut cardstock stickers. The whole sheet is approximately 6″ x 6″ (the 6 individual stickers are almost 1-3/4″ wide).

Paper Layers: Vintage
Subtly-colored printed sheets that looks like old book pages (or sheet music) with overlayed images. Set of 6 pages (5″ x 7″)

Tiny Alphabet Stickers – 3 Designs
Three designs of tiny, round die-cut stickers (the circles on the brown background (with white “typewriter” letters) are 5/16″ diameter; the circles on the cream with black letters or black with cream letters are 1/4″ diameter).

Mini Kraft Bags
Cute little brown paper bags, the perfect size for an ATC!

Mini Bags & Tags
Sets of heavy brown paper bags (with scalloped edges) and manila tags (3 small and 3 large). The small tags are 1-7/8 x 3-1/4″; the larger ones are 2-3/8 x 4-1/8″.

Paperworks & Vintage Ephemera Stickers – 2 Sets
Die-cut cardstock stickers with vintage themes. Fulls sheet are approx. 8 x 11″. The Paperworks sheet includes postcards, children’s ABCs and a bingo card. The Vintage sheet has illustrations from postcards (and trade cards) of children and women (and birds and flowers). Includes a couple sewing or thread ad images, too.

Simone Scrapbook Paper
Scattered bits of vintage ephemera (postcards, tickets, award certificates, trade cards for coffee and other consumer products, children’s primers…) all in faded tan, newsprint and cream colors. 12″ x 12″ heavy sheets.

Nailheads (“Decorivets”)

Antiqued, embossed, metal pronged “rivets” (more like nailheads than true “rivets”). Push or hammer through nearly any surface and fold over rivet points for easy fastening to anything.

Navigation Set
This set includes a round frame (or buckle you could thread a wide ribbon through?), a clock, a compass rose and two keyholes. The Compass Rose is also available separately.

Compass Rose
26mm diameter (about 1″). Also available as part of the Navigation Set.

Butterfly
40mm wide x 30mm tall (about 1-1/2″ wide).

Woodland Bird
19mm diameter (about 3/4″).

Halloween (Already?! Well, a few, little Halloween items)

Poison Rubber Stamp Set
Just a portion of this large set is shown in the picture. Everything from belladonna to laudanum. And an ornate label for “unbroken chilblains” (that sound pretty nasty so I’m glad we’re not stricken with them in the 21st century).

This is a new, re-designed set based on our original clear stamp set. It’s more stamps for a lower price than the original set!

Eclipse & Nightfall Scrapbook Papers
Two 12″ x 12″, double-sided 65# cardstock sheets with polka dots on one side (and a faded, vintage merchandise receipt or crows, a bare tree (and tombstones at a cemetery) on the reverse side). Both sheets are also in the Twilight 3-Sheet Set.

Twilight Fabric Patches & Rub-Ons:

The Fabric Patches are 3 printed muslin patches, each approx. 3-1/2 x 5″. (Shown lower left.)
The Color Rub-Ons have lots of Halloween images: a bare tree with crows, poison warning, skulls, faux postage with spiders…

13/18 Oval Settings & Clear Cabochons

Smaller oval settings and acrylic cabochons than we’ve carried before.
Plain-Edge
Antiqued gold-plated brass, antiqued silver-plated brass or vintage patinaed brass. The gold and silver ones have a slightly different design at the top (attaching the loop). Clear acrylic cabochons are 13 x 18mm. I’d adhere them (over your artwork) with G-S Hypo Cement, Glossy Accents or Diamond Glaze.

Beaded-Edge
Antiqued copper-plated brass only (brass stamping so beaded edge is concave on the back).

Antique Brass
Really stunning antique brass settings, with gorgeous ornate details.

(More) Rubber Stamps

Tea Time Rubber Stamp
A sweet silhouette of a girl bringing tea to her cat. Wood-mounted only.

Spoon and Fork Cling Stamp
A fun background stamp for anything from The Mad Hatter’s Tea Party to a party invitation.

Stone Flower
A beautiful “tile” from vintage architecture.

Peacocks

Peacock Scrapbook Papers & Transparency
Peacock feathers silkscreened on 12″ x 12″ papers:
– Gold metallic ink on purple textured cardstock
– Teal ink on metallic bronze paper
– Magenta ink on clear acetate transparency (heavyweight… won’t curl).

Peacock Cling Stamp
A nice trend in cling-mounted rubber stamps: the image is printed on the back side of the grey cling foam (so you can see the image through the clear mount – when you’ve got the stamp mounted on a clear acrylic block).
This stamp has a beautiful peacock and floral design.
As the background prints solid (and the peacock & flower border are left uninked), this stamp works well stamped with a light-color ink (in the background of your artwork).

The following items are not new, but are on sale:

Small Peacock Charms
Antique brass-plated cast pewter. Tiny. Approx. 3/4″ tall (with the loop).

Peacock Rubber Stamp
A beautiful illustration created by Burcu Arat Sup (aka Mujka Design).

Miscellaneous

Chandelier Crystals – New Source/New Colors
Beautiful imported German crystal “beads” (a bit large for a bead). 37mm x 26mm (almost 1-1/2″ tall). 8mm thick. These have a flat back, so you could adhere a collage on the back (the glass will distort the image a bit, but that might be just the look you’re after).

Hang-it-Alls
Hang-it-Alls turns your projects into hangable art (and art you can change and rearrange). Attaches the rivets (included). Each package contains two pair of hooks and loops, with 2-part rivets. You will need to punch a hole in your artwork and, if you don’t want to smash that rounded rivet cap, use a rivet setter (with a hammer and a bench block) to set the rivets. Antique brass or antique silver.

Letterblock Printer Tray
A small version of the vintage printer’s type trays I collect. 10-1/2″ tall x 12-1/4″ wide (the same width as the ATC Printer Tray). Chocolate brown dyed wood.

Printers Tray Label Holders
Metal labels holders. A beautiful antique reproduction in two color options. Approx. 2″ wide. They fit both the Letterblock Printer Trays and ATC Printer Trays.

Pendant Blanks with Bails
Antiqued gold-plated brass blanks with an attached bail (ready to string on a chain or a ribbon).

Oasis Teal Jeweled Flowers
Semi-transparent, fabric flowers with sequin and rhinestone accents. Bendable (wired at the edges of the petals).

New on Sale!

Brownie Seal Rubber Stamp
What a cutie! The Brownies were a very popular late-19th century series by Palmer Cox.

Raven Border Rubber Stamp
A nice, menacing border (repeated across the page) for a Grimm ATC or maybe a Halloween card.

“Journal-it” & Travelogue Papers
Four double-sided, 12″ x 12″ sheets. 65 lb. cardstock. They coordinate with the Bracket Shaped Chipboard Covers & Die-Cuts.

Large Decorated Pebbles
1″ diameter, pre-decorated, self-adhesive acrylic “pebbles” (clear cabochons). 2 designs (each with 8 pebbles per package): Vintage Toys (that includes a kitten and some ’50s-era robots) & Butterflies. 8 different images per set.
