{Giveaway} from Vintage Paper Parade!

A big, whole-hearted thank you to everyone for their comments after Friday’s post! I was a bit unsure of whether or not to post belly pics but I’m so happy I got the chance to share one of my little joys of pregnancy with everyone! (Hmmm… on second thought maybe it’s not such a little joy – it’s actually a watermelon-sized joy at the moment. A watermelon with little legs that are jabbing the right side of my stomach as we speak.)

I’m also super excited to share a giveaway today that is pure vintage print lovely! Vintage Paper Parade designs whimsical, stylish paper products and I’ve loved every little collection that Debra has developed. I was thrilled that she wanted to announce her latest creations here – and offer a giveaway to one lucky winner!

With beautiful typography, darling images and a retro-esque feel to the invites, recipe cards, labels, cupcake markers and rest of the collections, there is something timeless and lovely about the shop that I can’t resist. (The silhouettes maybe? or the classic illustrations?)

Up for the giveaway today is two different versions of the Hostess Package – everything you need from labels to favor tags to bookplates {in this adorable print or the big image at top} plus a gift card to the shop and free shipping!

{Giveaway} from Vintage Paper Parade!

I’d like to introduce you to one of PDB’s new sponsors. You may have noticed the new button in the left hand column with this adorable image:

Vintage Paper Parade is a wonderful little Etsy shop featuring whimsical, stylish and vintage-inspired illustrations perfect for a baby or bridal shower, children’s birthdays or holiday fun. 

Debra, the owner and designer, hand designs each image from children’s stories (and even stories told by her children) by keeping a notebook of sketches and choosing her favorites to add regularly to the shop. She calls Toronto home and launched A Spring Handmade Market to unite local Etsy artists earlier in 2009.

I adore the small, detailed tags! How perfect would they be for handmade party favors, gift packaging, or even to identify dessert buffet treats? The cupcake toppers and cards with elephants and circus tents follow as a close second (and did you see the fawn design?).

Vintage Paper Parade offers party packs and individual listings in most of the themes. You’ll definitely want in on this giveaway!
