70's Wrapping Paper

Gorgeous vintage wrapping paper from the 1970's.

Reminds me of the wrapping paper box that mum used to keep in the storage cupboard.
She would keep good wrapping paper from gifts that had been received 
(that we hadn't mangled too much in the present opening process), 
give it abit of a 'flaten out' and keep it in the box ready to use on a new gift.

I think the wedding one is my favourite in this set.

Many thanks to Annie, anniewalter.com for allowing me to share 
some of her beautiful wrapping paper collection here.

  2. These are such adorable papers. What a great post, Donna! I love stuff like this. I actually saved the image of the kittens playing on cotton (?), because I liked it so much.

    1. I really love that cat one too - I had a flashback to a similar wrap from my childhood the second I saw it. Great colours. I wish vintage wrap like these would be reissued too. Would love to see your Christmas ones! Have you blogged any of your projects you've used them for? Would love to check them out. x
