We’re loving this collection of vintage tidbits from St. Louis-based company, Secret Leaves. They create albums, journals, stationery and gift enclosures from recycled ephemera, resulting in a unique style that is sure to satisfy your hopeless vintage addiction. We are in serious swoon-mode over their “Write Me a Letter” kits; an artfully composed set of papers, an envelope, and embellishments to inspire your letter-writing. We’ll take 10 of them, thanks. (But we may not actually write letters, but rather just hoard the pretty papers.)
And how sweet of them it was to make a Flickr set, especially for you lovely 100 Layer Cake readers, with ideas for save-the-dates, wedding favors and lots more vintage goodness. Go and take a gander!
If you find something you can’t live without on their site, shoot them an email…they’re super nice. Happy browsing!

write me a letter kit, really, i love it. i also find myself lusting after every last piece of goodness here.
i’m all about pretty letters – but like you, i don’t actually write any, i just collect pretty paper.
xox
must have the cigar box full of goodness and letter kit.. am drooling.
love this look, it is sort of what i’m doing for my invitations… you can see my save the date here: http://courtneyandjohnforever.blogspot.com/2009/03/save-date.html
do you have a calligrapher that does freelance work??? what i’m getting at is…could possibly address my invites… or do you have any recommendations?
incredible!! will have to pass the word along!
I love this! I collect pretty paper and I write letters so this is a bonus for me. I’m definitely going to check it out!
Wow, I am in love. You guys are doing such a great job spotting cool finds — I just spent 10 minutes drooling over Secret Leaves’ site. Cigar box kits, are you kidding?! I’m going to post on them as well — and will link back to you for sure. Thanks for a new treasure!
Very neat. I can’t imagine actually writing a physical paper letter to anyone, but I love the eye candy.
Ah-dooor! I’m much the paper hoard and loving these images. You ladies really do find and share the best stuff. I’m a total 100 layer cake addict.
It is so lovely, thanks for these inspirational pictures!
Can I go live in their studio, please? I’ll sit quietly in the corner and just swoon over all the paper. That would be my dream come true.
these are beautiful! whenever i find pretty papers like these, i’m too afraid to even use them!
I love all these vintage papers! I just noticed the “briefkaart” on the top right hand side says “Wien” – that’s where we are!! (Vienna, Austria)
