"These Are The Good Old Days" by Over Under Textiles

Made from vintage canvas with a perfectly worn, time-softened feel, this piece leans all the way into nostalgia—easy, honest, and full of character. The fabric shows natural creasing, subtle discoloration, and raw edges that give it that lived-in charm you just can’t fake.

Bold, hand-applied lettering reads: “THESE ARE THE GOOD OLD DAYS.”
A gentle reminder, a little sentimental, and just the right amount of perspective—because somehow, it’s always now.

About the artist

Austin-based artist Laurie Sobocinski has always loved fabrics and thrifting, and she brings that passion into her work by using as many upcycled textiles as possible. From wool suits to denim and corduroy jeans, she is always searching for new materials to repurpose. The canvas for her current pieces once served as US mailbags — carriers of countless letters in their past life. Today, they carry bold word art that expresses fun and meaningful phrases.
