Ceiling views. This is my office ceiling but if you happen to be in the one of the restrooms at Trader Joe’s in Denver you might see the same thing. Lol.

A map, an invitation, a tourists picture book of Sites Worth sewing.

I got up extra early today because I have a lot of work to do (I want to do). This is not it but I did see this mini iron in an antique store and like every child I had to play with it. I had an ironing board and an iron when I was little. I just don’t remember it being this small. Or, am I just much bigger? Funny how we remember things in a completely different perspective. # #monahanpapers #ironingboard #jnsta #instadaily #instagoog #iron #housework #work #memory (at Troy, Missouri)

Same document. Another view. This paper seal has a lovely cream ribbon on it which slips through the page to hold it in place. Magnificent given it is almost 100 years old. # #monahanpapers #french #france #ephemera #antique #paper #vintage #paperlove #typography #instadaily #instagood #iphoneography #insta #mysimplelife #collector #brocante #mylife #script #sepia #brocante #frenchephemera #antiques #calligraphy #medal #document #paris #etsy #etsystore #fleur #fleurdelis #seal #crown (at Troy, Missouri)

Small tree decorating today as I “piddle around” playing with French ephemera. The pastels are calling my name this year and our tree only has recently found vintage/antique finds. I would like to say it’s a project but truth be told it was easier than digging out all of our traditional Christmas decorations... and... but yes I am working on Christmas 2018 project. Did you notice the price. That’s not what I paid... if it were I would be surrounded by thousands of them. # #monahanpapers #holiday #focus #design #mercuryglass #ephemera #antique #paper #create #artist #frenchephemera #vintage #typography #instadaily #instagood #iphoneography #insta #mysimplelife #collector #script #brocante #antique #christmasornament #christmas #ornament #bulb #holiday #pink #pastel (at Troy, Missouri)

Does it really matter what type of bulb I decorate with? As long as it’s old these light bulbs could work... right??? # #monahanpapers #french #france #holiday #mercuryglass #ephemera #antique #paper #create #artist #frenchephemera #vintage #paperlove #typography #instadaily #instagood #iphoneography #insta #poker #mysimplelife #collector #calligraphy #script #brocante #antique #saint #christmasornament #christmas #ornament #lightbulb #bulb (at Troy, Missouri)

I know I will never be done when it comes to unpacking because it’s all for sale... when I am ready to part with it. Or do I mean mentally able to part with it? Anyways... this drawer is a miscellaneous mess and will have to be resorted into other drawers once I unpack more. It looks to much like a junk drawer and most of these items do not belong together but I have to start somewhere. There are boxes everywhere. # # #monahanpapers #french #france #ephemera #antique #paper #create #artist #frenchephemera #vintage #paperlove #typography #instadaily #instagood #iphoneography #insta #poker #mysimplelife #collector #calligraphy #script #brocante #antique #saint #pockerchip #chippypaint #medal #crucifix #rosary (at Monahan Papers)
