On the Cheap: Map Happy

I'm going through a phase. Maps. And not the "help me, I'm lost" variety (though they are helpful), but more maps-on-stuff. Behold:


Decorative letters, reminding you to do some more traveling. $20 for both.


Paper roses that won't die when you forget to give them plant food. $7.50 for 5. (Speaking of roses, my office handed them out for Mother's Day. I got one... but I don't have any kids. And then it died right away. It's like it knew.)


Envelopes that are much more eye-catching than the white ones we use for everything. $9 for 10.

How about you? Are you map happy, too? (Ha, that rhymed.) Do you have any other mappy things at home, a print perhaps?

    I love the letters!!! What a great idea. We're breaking out lots of hiking maps lately, these kinds of crafts would be a fun way to commemorate our trips.

    I love those paper roses. I need to come up with some artificial flowers that are craftastic since I'm too much of a snob for silk flowers and I'm allergic to the real thing.

    OMGosh! I Looove using vintage maps. I make map paper roses and wreaths. I have also made map paper gift bags that were cute but was one of those ideas that I would have had to charge too much for ( if you know what I mean) My husband likes to stroll by when I am in the middle of one of "those" projects and remark "annnnd HOW much are you planning to charge for this?" LOL

    The map envelopes are so cute. Might have to try my hand at making those.

    What a great idea! I use sheet music but never thought of maps before. I love the roses especially!

    Those map roses are so good! Can you imagine a traveler rose that has all the places it has been on its petals?
