She used an salvaged window frame bought on the cheap and used free wallpaper samples to create this pretty panel. There's so much you could do with this!

I've been doing this for a couple years now - I buy and/or collect pretty postcards or greeting cards, frame them (they don't have to be expensive frames), and then hang them in groups. It makes for a nice "arts + crafts" look

frame a tea towel

I also do this - if you can bear to rip plates out of an old artbook - frame them.

Beautiful patterns on paper, textiles, stationary

This beautiful paper is from Kichi Inc. I'm trying to decide which pattern to buy. My plan is to buy a sheet --at only around $5.50, and stick it in a shabby-chic style white wood frame I have. It'll be beautiful art for less than lunch! Kichi has also worked with fashion designers and created custom textiles, and fashion designers have collaborated with them on their stationary. Now to choose which pattern for me...










This card was a collaboration with fashion designer, Staci Snider.


They even sell cards that come with bracelets inside!
