I love this project so much! It's so lovely and inspiring. Where did you find all the old maps?

Avalonne: Thanks, I will definitely check out your blog, looks nice!
Ann: They are from a variety of sources, I collect them as I go. I have a lot of old atlases, you can find them pretty much anywhere (well, antique book stores). The Pink and Green one is just from one of those vintage calendars you can buy every year! I stole it from the 2009 one... oops!

Oh wow, it's looking really great! Dang it, there are a few stores in Tokyo that you would really appreciate but they wouldn't let me take any photos for you.
