D. Blumchen & Co.
I found out about this company through a reference from the online Martha Stewart site and fell in love with their products. They have so many vintage paper goods, millinery flowers, etc it is absolutely amazing! Do you remember those little crepe paper nut cups from tea parties when you were little? They are still being made and are available! My daughter and I had a Springtime Mother/Daughter Tea and used them for favors. One of the most significant things they have is Lametta Tinsel.......Lametta Tinsel is magical. It is thin wired tinsel that is silver plated so it tarnishes....beautifully and is soooo hard to find! It is wonderful as trim on anything and everything and is so subtle and gorgeous! Do you remember seeing those beautiful spun glass starburst ornaments with little angels or santas in the middle (probably at your grandmother's house)?.....they sell everything you need to make one and if you go to Martha Stewarts website, there is a video showing you how!!!

Papier Valise - Provisions for the Creative Journey - new to me and absolutely fabulous!! They have amazing vintage things for scrapbooking, crafts, art collages......think Joseph Campbell......labels, charms, candy cane twine for packages wrapped in brown paper......you will love it - if only to peruse! .......by the way, tell me if I'm wrong but I think vintage library book cards are a fab gift tag for bottles of wine, etc!
