........from the usual sewing.
Decoupage coasters from vintage ephemera.
vintage French ephemera..........
vintage French adverts
.........and old Christmas cards from the US fromVictorian times through to the 1950's.
I have lots of these bought off eBay a few years ago, knowing I would use them for a project at some point.
All these photos show decoupaged coasters at various stages, awaiting the next coat of varnish or drying.
I shall back them in felt and make up bundles tied in ribbon, jute or raffia.
This is fun!
Gorgeous Gill.....nothing like a bit of vintage French ephemera....definitely love that! :)
