Needles-n-Pins Stitcheries: Back To School

Well summer is winding down and schools are starting up soon. Some schools have already started and around here they start next week. It seems summers just fly by anymore and when you get my age they go into warp speed! :)

So...if some of you are getting ready to send those kiddos off to school how about checking out some of the artisans on Etsy for your "back to school" supplies. I was amazed at all the "goodies" there are. 

The first thing that you need are school supplies and I would assume most of you have this task already done. So that your children can keep track of all their supplies why not use these labels from MarbellaPrintables. 

No matter if your child is in elementary school or high school they usually have a whole new wardrobe to start school. Why not have a few items that are personalized to them in their closet. I would think even the teenager might like that. StitchedForKids can personalize a shirt for you. 

We need something to carry all of our supplies in and most kids I know use backpacks. So how about a personalized one for your children....EMEmbroidery has a lot of back packs and bags that would work for carrying their supplies. 

Then the favorite time of the school day is "lunch"!! Pack your kids lunch in these bags from LilyPieBaby. They can be used for all ages and with the modern fabric design your teen might even use them. :)

So no matter what age your child is they still like new "stuff" to head off to school. Hope everyone has a great school year!!

Jacquie's Up-Cycle Nation: Old School

August in Texas signals the slow end to summer- that gleeful time of year where parents celebrate the return of the kiddos to the classroom. As store shelves fill with fresh school supplies parents and grandparents can be overheard reminiscing about their own school days.  Fond memories of beloved teachers, playground rituals and of course- treasured supplies!

These Etsy sellers are ready to greet the nostalgic and keep the flames of yesteryear burning bright.

Nothing screams "back to school" more than vibrant black and yellow! Pick up an iconic school sign for home décor at VintageRoundUp. Looks great over the fish tank.

Who doesn't have a favorite school lunchbox in the memory bank? This space themed box can be scored at becaruns where youthful vintage fills the shop!

 Perfect up-cycle idea from 30one!  Vintage student chalkboards used as modern props for photo shoots or everyday "old school" text messages. Favorite this shop for back to school cool ideas for all ages.

The clock!  Perhaps the most stared-at object in all of school lore! Grab this vintage classroom gem

from LookatthisHoney. 

Vintage text books are perfect for up-cycled mixed media projects or nostalgic reading.  These Modern Illustrating books, available at bestellevintage, contain helpful  instruction and kitschy images.

Head over to thriftypyg for educational paper chasing.  From  gummed labels to vintage flash cards, this store has it all!

For more retro school finds search vintage school on Etsy.

LOVE  &  UP-CYCLE NATION!!
