"First a brief little introduction: I grew up a Midwest farm girl from Wisconsin but through a series of moments of self discovery I have since moved to California and live the city life in Palm Springs. I live in a beautiful contemporary home where my husband and I have designed a small but very beautiful Japanese Garden.
Unfortunately, though, the contemporary look does not blend with my passion for vintage and antique Victorian froufrou. So I have created for myself a virtual world with my shops. I welcome you to my attic filled with all the treasures found and creations made especially for you..." ~Colleen Cornelius

Hunting for treasures at flea markets, thrift stores and antique shops is also a favorite past time and I often incorporate these objects into my art..." ~Frances Perea

My love of paper in its many forms dates back to childhood. A favorite 10th birthday gift was a box of office forms with carbons. With carbons! I could play restaurant, office, retailer...The riches, the riches! Alas, I was loathe to actually use my treasures.. I very stingily doled them out to my playmates, dreading the day when the last carbon would float, spent blue swan, into the wastebasket.
Now, I am mature and I share better. I hope you will be emboldened to use/frame/ read/re-purpose the items you purchase from PastPaperPresent." ~ Dawn C.

I started this because I realized I had to much cool stuff laying around under my bed/in storage. I hated not being able to have it out on display. I want to give this stuff a great home where it will be used/admired/out to see! " ~ Ashley Keeler

Since then I have veered into the gemstone bead jewelry that I love so much, like in the Sundance catalogs for example.. I love the jewelry but it's a bit pricey. So I started making jewelry that had that Sundance feel without the large price tag. That was late 2012, I have been making gemstone jewelry for about a year now and I'm thrilled that my daughter has just recently started making jewelry as well. I will be listing some of her lovely handmade pieces this week." ~ MBJ & MCM
