Source for Similar Typographic Blocks?
Good Questions

Q: I really like Justin's alphabet blocks in the House Tour, Justin Styles Around His Roommates — where can I find something similar? I appreciate your help!

Editor: I imagine most of these blocks were found at flea markets, but I would suggest looking at Etsy, eBay and especially ThreePotatoFour — this is right up their alley!

Does anyone else have suggestions for Wesley?

This is funny. Yesterday I was looking at this exact photo and also wanting those blocks! Honestly, ebay is your best bet. Just search for antique or vintage toy blocks and you'll find similar things. Or if you're an avid thrifter obsessed with all things vintage like myself, just keep your eyes open at thrift shops, consignment, and flea markets.

Old beam. Jig saw, stencil, water down the paint. Voila.
