Last week I found a nice lot of vintage sheet music! I really love this type...no artwork on the covers...and done in black type on off-white. Such fun titles...
And I love all the decorative flourishes and different fonts used on each piece... and of course the sheet music!
I love using these for so many projects and collage...
Until next time...

I love it all too! I was so glad to have a huge stash of it when I decided to put antique papers on the wall in my bathroom - it's far more beautiful than any wallpaper I would ever find in a store.
What do you have planned for your stash?

Hi Linda
I agree they are wonderful.
I love the different fonts and just how prettily they are designed. Isn't it great they survived. In the wrong hands they got have just been put in the bin.
I can imagine you using them in lots of beautiful projects.... I'm looking forward to it!

oops... i meant in the wrong hands they could have just been put in a bin!!!

Linda, they are a wonderful find- love the tone of age on them, and the simple beauty.

My mother just sold her huge collection of sheet music after letting me take all that I wanted. ( it was a steal for any sort of collector or reseller, I just had no room for it all!) She was quite fond of the graphics on the covers. Now I have quite a few that have some intrinsic value so I don't want to cut them up. I have a bit of a dilemma about them since it was her collection. It would be easier if I had found them at a thrift shop.
She originally started collecting them when she was re-ling old wooden trunks that my dad was refinishing. She would use the cover photo against some decorative wallpaper that you would see when you opened the trunk. The sold a few hundred trunks that they refurbished that way over the years.

What a great find, I can't wait to see what you do with them! I love your new sign for the kitchen too, it turned out great! t.xoxoox
Beautiful graphics..love the art work.
Linda you always seem to find the neatest pages and ephemera. I don't know if you posted about this before or not...You can direct me there if so.
I was wondering- have you ever come across pages, books, magazines- whatever, that have a musty smell? If so, how do you treat them? Do you resell them or pass over them? Do you incorporate them into your collages?
Thanks in advance, Pat
They are difficult to resist with those lovely flourishes and swooshes. So many projects...sigh! Enjoy.
This is just gorgeous sheet music. Lucky you!
I have some sheet music, what should I make out of them?

Beautiful sheet music, Linda. You will have so much fun with them.
They are so beautiful! I love vintage sheet music!

I love it, too. I have a huge container of it that belonged to my Aunt and then some from hubby's grandmother. I think some of it is worth some money as it is old show tunes and some stuff from WWI. I should frame some of it I think.
Oh Linda
That sheet music is so wonderful I wish I could find such treasures. I always love to see what you inspire us with.
Much love
Kate

Just imagine the time that went into designing those wonderful works of art!
I love these so much!
Wow! Linda, those are marvelous, I need to go to our GW and find more sheet music, it's so special, isn't it.
Hugs, Cindy
Linda, I can't wait to see what you do with those. Just gave Suebee some of my dad's old sheet music. Maybe you can have a "face-off" lol. Ann
