hey everyone! i thought today's title would be appropriate for two reasons...first off...patinaWHITE's annual holiday event is going to be here "in a flash"! remember the fun starts the EVE of november 4th! i promise it to be a grand time & most unique shopping experience!
secondly...for years i have used my coveted vintage alphabet flashcards in displays & much to the disappointment of many...not been able to part w/ them. well no more disappointments because i have...for sale...for the first time...a reproduction grouping of cards made off of my very set! you could never tell these are not the real thing! fooling even the most discerning teacher!
i will also be offering them "open-stock"...w/ the basket resting patiently on my iron bed display {below} just waiting for you to dig into!
here's just one example of how to use 'em! {below}
i strung a length of burlap ribbon & clipped them on it with my mini "pin ups"...another patinaWHITE original design + favorite {seen below!}
if you look real hard {below} you will see the tiny clothes-pin hangers that hold more samples of them there cards on a vintage window! spell out your name...your child's name...heck...even your pet! sky's the limit and there's plenty of them to go 'round!
i loved the graphics of the old box that contained my set so much that i let it influence me as i was designing the packaging for the sets i will be offering for sale {shown below}
pick yourself up one of these for a plethora of letters...w/ many duplicates in-case you need to spell out MERRY...or HAPPY...or MISSISSIPPI! well that last one might be a stretch!
so the next time someone eyes my "inspiration displays" and longingly asks "are those are for sale"...my answer...in a flash...will be "why yes they are"!
thanks for peeking...hope you have yourself a wonderful day!
PLEASE NOTE below for more info on flashcard sets...
well a big THANK YOU everyone for your interest in my flashcards! and though i would love to get 'em out in a flash...the show prep has my putting a few things on the back burner. i am happy to send out sets after the show...here's the details!
54 cards in a set. they are BIG. about 8x6 in size. and printed FRONT & BACK! one side is a capital...the respective lowercase is on the back. which makes it fun to mix it up like i did in GooD NiGhT! and there are duplicates of many popular letters! price for a set is $39 plus tax/shipping. i have a limited number of sets and will hold as many as i can for those of you interested!
if you like 'em in the photos...you will LOVE them in real life!
you can also email me... hello@patinawhite.com to give me a thumbs up and i will add to my tickler to address when the dust settles a bit!
again...thanks for your notes and all the emails! i am so thrilled to get such a positive response!

Wow Beth! Your flash cards are simply fabulous! I love the endless possibilities they give and your examples above just made me want them! They look great in the window and even better in front of that black wall, I just had to pin them on my Pinterest Vintage White Christmas inspiration board. Did you paint the wall behind the bed with black chalboard paint, just wondering?
I also love these cream white stars on the wall very much! Of couse first thing I did was sending you an email and now I'm anxiously hoping that I wasn't too late already and that you will be sending to Germany.
Have a a fantastic day!
Carola xoxo~
