I am just getting around to starting to decorate our home (we got married and bought it in December). I am doing my kitchen in a gardening theme (fruits, vegetables, flowers, etc.). I was thinking I would do some artwork with cool or old seed packets... frame them, make a collage, or something.
So does anyone have any cool, interesting, rare, old, etc seed packets laying around? Or even just regular ones, as I can't really justify going out and buying seeds I don't need just to get the packets... even though we have a garden...

I don't have any old ones, but you might be able to find images on the web that you can print off and use.

Seeds will be going on clearance soon, keep an eye out, they will be down to 10 or 15 cents by the end of the month. I notice Aldi marked theirs down 2 weeks go.

Good idea CH. The web would probably be your best bet. I am sure you would able to find old style images.

If you're interested in foreign language seed packets, I might be able to help you out on that one. But you'd have to be really patient because they don't sell seeds on my island and I don't know when I'll be buying them next - probably not til September!

Dollar stores often have 5-10/$1. seed packets. Not old but cheap. Sorry I can't help but my seed packets are on pens and popsicle sticks marking rows.

Foreign language packets would be cool, I hadn't thought of that! Keep me in mind.

Thanks, everyone else, for the suggestions... I'll check online and at the dollar store next time I'm in town.
