One of my favorite places to shop in my town of Castle Rock, Colorado is The Barn. It is an old barn that has been converted into little shops. Each of the old stalls is now a shop that sells vintage and new items.
I told the shop owners to let me know when their Christmas things were in because they are always wonderful at taking vintage items and creating something new and beautiful with them.
As we are packing away our fall decorations and bringing out our boxes of Christmas goodies I thought it would be fun to see how we can simply incorporate some vintage papers into our holiday decorating.
I knew they would have perfect ideas for us to use!
I love papers...old and new a like. So, incorporating vintage papers into my Christmas decorating is fun and easy.
Vintage papers can be easily used to make beautiful wreathes, banners, place mats...the uses are endless.
If you have wonderful ideas of how to incorporate vintage papers into holiday decor please leave a comment with a link to your blog...I know we would all love to see it!
If you are in the area stop by The Barn and say "hello". You will not be disappointed!

I live in Denver but never get to the burbs (Castle Rock might as well be on another planet!) but I think we might have to make a trip to visit the Barn. Thanks!

Love it, Jeanne. Think I'm going to make my santos a little dress made of vintage paper before Christmas. You inspire!
Gorgeous ornaments... I think I'll have to make something similar. Wouldn't it be pretty to have one on each plate on the Christmas table?
Lovely! Here's my little paper project I did the other day. Not so Christmasy but fun just the same!
