I am always inspired when I come across old metal numbers, signs, vintage letterpress and text. I found an amazing mix of the old and new in my search this week on Etsy.

I love the vintage wood typeset and the old metal letter and number. You have to wonder about their history.

Then I came across the newer items that have their own vintage feel. You can find so many uses for all of these beautiful items.

  9. Lovely things. I've become an etsy fan, and although we have etsy here in Australia, I can only choose small things to order from overseas...these might fit the bill!!

  18. Aimee- This post is so inspirational and creative. I am a big fan of letters myself. I am always hunting for silver serving pieces that have someone elses letters or monogram on them. They are like treasures to me. Love the number plates. Thank you for the etsy round-up of lovely things!
