Must update! I found the image below via a link to Apartment Therapy on the previous Cavallini post (thanks Debbie!) and that image shows the envelope “sheet”…notice in the lower right hand corner.
This reminds me of the article in Southern Living that showed an enlarged envelope used as art..LOVE IT..I am sure many of you remember this article and image!
I love everything about how he styled this…Over the weekend, I saw a green jar at Marshall’s just like this one ! And simple black frame…you could do this with your own old envelope or if you don’t have time for this project just frame the Cavallini envelope! So easy and bold..very graphic!

I loved that image from CL mag and am so glad you found a source for those of us who don’t just happen to have a vintage letter sitting around to enlarge.

I love that enlarged envelope so, so much. If you have any Pacific Northwest readers, there is a store in Olympia, Washington that sells hundreds of different kinds of Cavallini paper. It is called the Scarlett Empress. They have a website but don’t sell any of the good paper on there, that I’ve seen anyway. My entire apartment was decorated in Cavallini paper – some old maps of Europe, French writing, vintage-looking birds, etc. I figured it was just scrapbook paper and used it because it looked like posters and was so super cheap! I’ve never seen anything like that envelope though, but I really want to find something similar. That’s beautiful.

LOVE the envelope. I will be doing just that- I have a hundred or so postcards that belonged to my great-grandmother, sent from her family in England.
I have a Cavallini map of the US that hangs over my 5-year-olds table. Funny though; I never knew the name for the paper and I always thought it was too heavy to wrap with. So, in a frame it went.
Thanks for another great post!

I bought a map of paris (for my daughter) and a map of the London metro (for my son) one year and framed them for Christmas. They loved them (we are wierd like that). Of course, they got other gifts, too.
