Collection Challenge #107 - Vintage Cupcake Papers

I am drawn to vintage cupcake papers/liners.  I like them when they are all tidy in their original boxes with the wonderful graphics. The papers are plain, but the boxes make up for their simple cupcake papers inside.

Betty Brite with her giant bow tie and her crazy hair. An added bonus is the fact i love cupcakes.

I also like that cupcakes papers are often found in large quantity.  I don't feel guilty about using up some of my vintage stash with my spun head gals.  These floral papers are slightly faded with time and show some age. I love their delicate design tho.

Original box and a mini size.

Holiday cupcake papers are the easiest for me to find.  I love the design in the back right corner with the poinsettias.  This paper has been made into spun head skirts many times.

Springtime florals in faded prints.

I also collect those that are smaller in size and meant for candies and such. Some of these are older and some are new.

I never run across enough fun patterns and papers at estate sales for my crafting needs so I do resort to collecting the modern designs as well. These are for spun head skirts. I like them all tidy like this.

If you have an idea for a future collection challenge, leave me a comment and finish the sentence "Show me your collection of _____."

You may never look at a cupcake paper the same way again...happy day!

I love your seeing your special stash of cupcake liners all stacked up together. Such lovely eye candy. They definitely make the cutest skirts on your special creations.

Love that little spun head's attitude!!
I have seen pictures of your studio and it doesn't seem all that huge so I just have to wonder how you manage to store one (or dozens!) of everything there is in the world. 8+)

That sassy spun head gal reminds of a small sister I had who was always declaring "I know my rights!" I laughed out loud when I saw her expression! Fun post! =D
