Everything Old is New Again
 

From reading various posts, it seems like a lot of "old" stuff is making a comeback. Bottlecaps, which I used years ago, are now trendy, from what I see in magazines. Smash journals to me are the same as the old fashioned scrapbooks I did as a kid. And now people are buying typewriters to use for journaling!

What will be the next comeback item???:confused:

I was just thinking the same thing the other day!!

I'm hoping to get started smashing soon!!

Fountain pens (I want one!)

Neon is hot again! ROFL! My eyes bugged out of my head when I first saw a smashbook. Then I fell over laughing. I loved my smashbooks when I was an eighties teen. I had one dedicated to Johnny Depp. :) It's a cool trend to see again. I have gone on to art journaling. No more Johnny Depp smash books for me. :D!

The typewriter craze is boggling my mind too. I love typewriters. I have a beautiful vintage Breakfast at Tiffany's blue typewriter. I paid a whole $1.48 for it at my thrift store a couple years back. It's in perfect condition. Now, I am seeing girls post on other MB's "I found a typewriter today at my thrift store! I paid $20." I love my typewriter because it means something to me. I think it's quicker to use a typewriter font. :)

I collect pens. I have beautiful sets of fountain pens in my collection. I am looking forward to that trend so I can snag some more fountain pens for my collection. :)

I guess you can tell I love writing tools. :D!

I forgot another trend that is back. Traditional stenciling.

my youngest daughter and I got smash books and we are loving it! I also have a couple of old typewriters and would love to find a green one.

I guess I missed this trend the first time around.... what is a Smash book?

Doesn't everything cycle back around, just in a slightly different form? Probably so the manufacturers can make more money selling these products again. LOL I wish my mom had kept her old typewriter. I have been looking for it in her house for months and she isn't sure where it went to. Would LOVE to use it for scrapping.

I will have to tell my mom about the typewritter craze, she has a scrip typewritter was wondering what to do with it. I will have to check it out so make sure it still works!!
