Crafty Paul(s), Then and Now

Check out this fun vintage find- 1908 repurposing at its best! West Oakland, Sept 9, 1908
Dear Mary.
How’s this for something new in Post Cards; only a car tag but I guess it will go through the mail.
I was awfully glad to get your letter and will write you as soon as there’s anything to tell here. There’s nothing doing just now –not that I know of anyway. Let me know how things go with you.
Sincerely, PaulI’m not sure what kind of paper car tag this actually is- auto, cargo/train? But it couldn’t be more cool. Don’t you just love how he wrote POSTCARD on the address side. I will now be keeping my eye out for other ephemera that could double as a postcard for sending a note to a friend. Way to go, Paul!

And speaking of Paul and paper…

My blog friend Paul Overton’s fabulous video tutorial on papercut portraits on DudeCraft has really inspired some wonderful work by his readers. Check them out HERE!
