Wrapping Paper Fit To Be Framed


Reproduction of vintage Paris city guide, circa 1921, $3.95, paper-source.com. 

A few days ago, I was walking by the window display at my local Paper Source, when a vintage map of Paris caught my eye (If you know me or have been reading this blog, you know I heart many, many things French, especially Paris!).  Closer inspection and a quick chat with the salesgirl revealed a happy surprise - the map was actually a single sheet of wrapping paper, and was only $3.95! (Urban Outfitters has the exact same print for $24.95.) I'm not sure how long they've had them, but Paper Source currently has a treasure trove of Cavallini & Co. prints - reproductions of everything from 18th century engravings to prints found in vintage French encyclopedias.  Measuring 20 x 28, they are the perfect size to double as wall art.  Here are a few of my favorites: 

Cavallini World Map 4 Wrapping Paper, $3.95, paper-source.com. 

Cavallini Animals Wrapping Paper, $3.95, paper-source.com. 

I picked up this animal print for my daughter's playroom - colorful, whimsical, but still sophisticated. Child-like, without being childish. 


Cavallini Butterflies Wrapping  Paper, $3.95, paper-source.com. 

Cavallini ABC Wrapping Paper, $3.95, paper-source.com.

Cavallini Plumes Wrapping Paper, $3.95, paper-source.com. 

A few minutes on Google and I found this sweet little office with the Cavallini Paris Map. It definitely cleans up nicely, don't you think?

Hope you are all having a great week!

    Ha! I actually have that exact Paris map framed and hanging in my house right now! You and I share that love of all things Paris. :) My brother and sister got it for me years ago and I only got around to framing it within the past 6 months. It's beautiful. I don't know if you have a Blick Art Supply out there but they have the same series of wonderful papers, and I want to frame them all.

    Jennifer, this is such a great idea! I actually purchased a sheet of Marimekko wrapping paper for E's room, and just hung it with washi tape. However, I love the idea of framing the city maps.
    PS~Hope all is well with you. xo

    Have you ever considered about including a little bit more than just your articles?
    I mean, what you say is fundamental and all. But think about if you added some great visuals or video clips to give your
    posts more, "pop"! Your content is excellent but with images and clips, this website could certainly be one of the greatest
    in its field. Superb blog!
