Maps

Recently, I've become really interested in pretty maps. They don't tend to be used anymore and I'm pretty sure we have a fair few map books lying around in the house that I may be able to get my hands on! I remember when I was little we were given old map books as scrap paper to doodle on and I loved going through and circling all the symbols like they were pretty pictures decorating the page. This post is map inspired and I'm hunting the web to find some pretty cute map crafts that I fancy having a go at doing myself! :-) Enjoy!

This cool map corkboard! I'd love to make a UK shaped one and pin little memos on my favourite parts :-)

I'll be keeping my eyes peeled for lots of map books in the charity shops this christmas! I've got lots of inspiration to keep me busy! :-)
