I am in vacation mode, I have 14 days until we leave for our Caribbean vacation which led me to feature this post about Vintage Souvenir Scarves! Beginning in the 1930s, maps were screen-printed onto various types of textiles such as tablecloths, scarves and tea towels and sold in souvenir shops across the nation. Today, they can be used in various projects whether framed, made into pillows, cushions, etc!

The vintage scarves I've collected remain some of my favorites-- I always come back to them and find they can be used in so many ways!
ReplyDeleteI love that vintage scarf!
ReplyDeleteI love this so much! I have a Michigan scarf from my great grandma that I had made into a pillow. xo
ReplyDeleteIsn't how funny how something touristy takes on a very romantic, enchanting feel after many years? Love these ideas - especially the beach chair! I guess I'd better check out that vintage Germany map too. :)
ReplyDeleteMy grandmother had small table cloths that had these same images on them. They were wonderful.
