Old and Tattered

I'm not sure why, but I like the look of tattered old papers and textiles.
I use these for my journal pages.
Some of this stuff is in pretty bad condition, but that's partly what I like about them.
Books and woven fabric pieces all tied up with twine.
Greeting cards and letters from the early 1900's  in an old wire basket.
Feels good to have some things sorted and organized. Maybe tomorrow will be a day for creating.
We'll see.
Have a nice day!
Karen

  1. I do too!!!! There's this antique/thrift store not too far from me and I make it a point to go in there at least once a month. They always have all kinds of old books, postcards and photos. I should start buying some of the old tattered books.
    Enjoy the weekend.
