My name is Amy and I live just north of Brisbane along the Coast of Redcliffe - a place that brims with many coffee opportunities and walks along the esplanade!

Paper Vintage Love reflects the essence of the store - paper flowers created from vintage sheets to be given to those you love / express your love. Additional materials such as coloured papers and modern book pages have also been integrated into the flower creations as my business has evolved. I LOVE the challenge of seeing a flower and experimenting with how to make the paper version. Got a flower you would like to be made in paper? Ask away!

I have a passion for creating custom flowers that are tailored to your needs. Give me your story / inspiration for the flowers you want made and I would love for it to come to life through my handmade creations!

I love knowing that Paper Vintage Love has and is part of many peoples everyday lives - whether they have purchased online or at a market/ been gifted - one of the thousands of handmade flowers.

How Paper Vintage Love Began:

Walking into markets, garage sales, op shops and antique stores, I always use my hands to experience the objects and ephemera I see. I love to connect with these objects, as each have a memory and story that is etched into its being. I love to discover its story and its meaning through its texture, it's scent or inscriptions and battered edges.

I get a rush of excitement when I see objects, particularly vintage/antique, that would act as gorgeous pieces in my house or as a gift for a friend. I try to imagine what hours of labour and the hands of workmanship and gone into creating its being. Moreso however, I get a rush of excitement when I can see potential in things that some would consider are at their end of their life. I love to transform objects to extend their life journey.

This was one of the starting points for me in my journey to create beautiful roses out of music sheets and more recently, book pages. In an age where paper is being replaced my technology, paper I almost losing its value in some cultures. For me personally, I love paper. All sorts of paper - its colour, texture, uneven edges and beautiful inked images that have been embedded into its being. Working with paper is a joy. And to transform paper to give it a new purpose allows its life journey to continue on even further.

My hope and intention through the products I sell, is that you would know and experience how the simple object of paper can be so beautiful, and that you would be part of their long life journey.
