Thank goodness for Bonnie Tsang and her Twitter feed or I would have had no clue about the Vintage Paper Fair that took place over the weekend. It was UNBELIEVABLE. Bonnie, her sweet-as-sugar daughter, Miss Venise, and another designer friend of mine, Sofia, were totally overwhelmed by vintage matches, old photos, old postcards, magazines, books, posters… and very reasonable prices. Here’s a little peek of some of the many pieces that came home with me–years worth of inspiration for my graphic design and art direction work. How great is that floral map of the US and oh my gosh that calligraphy? So dreamy.
KC says

Too bad I’m in another country, what a great fair. Too much goodness to comment on individually, so I’ll give it a blanket term of ‘impressive’!
