What's no secret is my love of paper + vintage ephemera. I'd take a slew of pretty notecards, scrap journals, and a lovely cigar box kit filled with papers over a new pair of shoes any day — which probably sounds a little weird. But every girl has her weakness, and mine is pretty papers. So when I heard about Secret Leaves paperworks on 100 Layer Cake, I knew this could be dangerous. If you love paper like me, you're going to be astounded by the handmade papergoods this St. Louis paper shop is making — mostly working with recycling vintage paper bits. And I'm excited about what's to come (map albums and stamped deckled notes.) Secret Leaves, you are a gem.
Another gem is 100 Layer Cake, which does qualify as a bridal blog, but I have to say this is not just a site for brides. It's a well-done site that's a fantastic source of inspiration for any party, decorating (their inspiration boards are not just focused on wedding bits), or found treasures like Secret Leaves.
