The fun design features a couple of knights on horseback involved in a good old-fashioned jousting match. There are antique looking hinges and a door lock with fun fonts and antiquated language.

They work well for any age birthday up to and including adults and they can be used for either a girl or boy or should I say a wench or a knight? Princess, Queen, Prince, or King? I guess what I'm trying to say is that it's the perfect birthday invitation for a renaissance fair lover, or for anyone who loves history and especially the medieval time period.

Funny Retro Fan Mail Postcard

You've Got Mail From Your Biggest Fan!

As a writer, I love a good play on words... I love it even better when it includes something retro like this funny fan mail postcard!

In my opinion, nowadays, there's too much virtual mail. Don't get me wrong, it's always nice to receive an encouraging email but don't you think, every once in a while, it's nicer to get a piece of snail mail that can be treasured forever? That's where these fun postcards come into play.

The retro fan mail postcard features an old-fashioned four-blade electric fan with a very open cage. Obviously, these fans were outdated many, many years ago for safety issues but for the sake of the joke on this postcard, it's perfect!

These postcards are fun to keep on hand for when someone you know does something exciting or GREAT.

They got an A on their report card? Send some fan mail. They got the lead in the school play? Send them a fan mail postcard. Trust me, once you start thinking, you'll find that there's SO many opportunities to use these.

Best of all, each postcard you send is guaranteed to inspire a smile from the recipient.

Who are you going to send a smile to today?

About Pin Up Girls

Pin up girls have been stealing our hearts since sometime around World War 1 but really began heating up in the 1950s.

They're sexy, flirtatious, beautiful women who at the time were considered completely risque but are mostly tame for our modern taste. That's what makes them such a fun choice for a lingerie bridal shower.

Saint Patrick Wants You St. Paddy's Day Invitations

2/13/2017

These fun Saint Patrick Wants You St. Paddy's Day Invitations are reminiscent of the Uncle Sam wants you posters that were hugely popular during World War I and again during World War II. In fact, at one time the original was nicknamed --"the most famous poster in the world."

The retro-inspired design features a leprechaun who looks notoriously like good-old Uncle Sam along with the words, Saint Patrick wants YOU to celebrate!

Instead of the red, white, and blue that is prominent in the original poster by James Montgomery Flagg, this invitation proudly displays St. Patrick wearing a green suit and shamrock top hat with an orange bow tie.

These Faux Leather Vintage Binders Are Amazing!

1/10/2017

I often dreamt of creating a Harry Potter inspired room of vintage books but I'm not a huge fan of how vintage books smell. So when I found these brand new vintage inspired binders I was thrilled.

These notebooks have a faux leather bound style but there are in fact Avery Signature 2" Binders. How cool is that? You can even customize the titles with your own text. These would be great for storing recipes, a family tree or even photograhs.

Here's another style that I love. It's got a nice scroll design and looks so weathered. It would be really cool to have an entire book shelf full of these notebooks and would make a great DIY project.
