The Trend That I Can't Get Enough Of. . .

. . . MAPS!

I know, I know...they're everywhere right now. 

{Which probably means I should move on to something more cutting edge.}

I'm trying....but I can't let it go :) 

{and probably  never will}

Because, after all, what good are trends if you can't fall in love with them and then keep them around for a while?   

Am I right?

OK, so here are the latest additions to my ever-growing map collection.

FIRST . . . remember wayyy back when I promised to show you my favorite find from our Prince Edward Island trip?  Seems like ages ago now.

Well anyways, I'm finally getting around to showing y'all!

While going through an old barn, we stumbled across this gem:

It's hard to read the faded print on the front but it's an Atlas of Prince Edward Island from 1830!

Each part of the island is drawn out, complete with the names of land owners

and 1830's "Island Hot Spots" 

 {like the Gentleman's Warehouse}

So clearly, I fell immediately in love with the history of it all !

{not to mention those gorgeous muted map colors}

Seeing that some pages were torn and others were completely missing, 

I thought I'd do the others a favor and save them from the same fate!

Here's where they landed in our home:

{obviously, next time I should spend the extra money for non glare glass}

This one managed to give me a tiny, tiny POP OF PINK without Michael even realizing it!

Ok, now I have to show y'all one of my favorite new additions to the shop.

An antique pull-down map of Europe!

It shows some wear and tear for sure, but since it's from 1904, I guess that's understandable.

Look at these gorgeous colors up close:

I'm in love, but reluctantly adding it to the shop today :)

I know it will find a wonderful new home!

Hope you all have GREAT start to your week!
