Look! Alphabet Card Display, Take 2

2009-08-18-sebastian.JPG

If this adorable set of animal flash cards looks familiar, it's because we've shown them to you recently cleverly displayed on a canvas. But these Jenn Ski alphabet cards are so appealing, they've inspired another reader.

 
 

Check out Rachel (of Smile and Wave blog) equally ingenious display. She used some twine and wooden clothes pins to casually string them up. The colors go great with the vintage cookware on the child's desk. We love it. You can check out more photos of Rachel's nursery here.

Cute! Of course, the tough part is finding these flashcards. . . though I just spotted 2 packs on ebay for $14.99 $3.49 shipping.

I'd jump on it, but I just ordered some Paul Frank flashcards after searching for the Jess Ski cards for months in vain. . .

Any chance posters like this are authorized by the artist?

Too funny! I bought these a little over a month ago and have them hiding in a drawer until I find time (MANY MANY projects going on at my house) to put them up!

My husband and I have been working on our daughters playroom and have the exact flashcards displayed the same way with jute twine and small clothespins! Except ours are hung in 2 rows.

Thanks, everyone! I found the globe at a local thrift store. There seem to be a surplus of globes in Missouri!
