Paper fancies from the past


This week I was a lucky girl! I bought these delightful paper items from the Honiton Fair. I am an absolute sucker for old ephemera, toys and images from the early to mid 20th century.


There were a number of these crepe party hats in several designs and colours......


Then there were these 3 paper and card storage containers that must have been filled with sweets and gifts.



All in amazing condition considering their age and fragile construction.


 Just love this little chap on his own personal ski slope!


 Then there is this little gem. Oh to have time to make fancy dress costumes out of crepe paper!


I will be keeping and enjoying these for a few weeks. They will then need to come with me to one of the many fairs that I am selling at in the next few months. See the blog sidebar for details.
