    This is absolutely adorable. I love it! I am looking, went to six sites so far...
    Have you checked out eBay for the same? Or other lots like that?

    Serched all over the web. It was bought in about 1988 thought used to have it in my bedroom so I think the chances of buying any now are very slim

    I searched everything on eBay... I searched on Google. I wish you luck! I will keep looking when I have more time, but I do need to say one more time, it is so lovely!

    Maybe Rosies can help you search further!

    I notice taking the Marilyn Monroe out of the search and adding Vintage wallpaper was better... check it out;)

    Where did you buy it originally? It would help to know that. Might be able to track a source because of where it was marketed.

    I typed in Marilyn Monroe Wallpaper and Marilyn Monroe Vintage Wallpaper in a Google image search, and I'm sure that you know that I got a godzillion image results! But, not yours, yet...

    That was a clever idea of yours startover22 to add the word "vintage" to a search!

    Thanks!

    It was bought in a wallpaper shop do not even think that shop exsists any more and like I say it was about 20 years ago. I have googled evrything and nothing seems to come up like it. Think it is an impossible task. Just deba\ting now whether to keep it

    You could do a craft with it or wall paper a table and cover it with a gloss or something, It sure is great!

    Oh framing it sounds great too. I look for about an hour then emailed a few of the "contacts" on the sites... I wonder if they will reply. Sorry I can't help much more, I really love it, I hope if you are going to keep it that it makes you happy!;)

    I've got an idea but I don't know if the service exists!

    Does anyone know if you could get more made up specially from the original design? Maybe from some sort of bespoke wallpaper company?

    You see I have had it for over 20 years there is only one roll iw ould like to use it on the wall but one day it will have to come down and then that's it it is gone for ever.
    Every now and again not that often I take it out look at it, it does bring back memories as I had it on one wall in my bedroonm as a teenager.
    But you cannot keep everything for ever as I say I do not really want to part with it. That is agreat idea trying to get some more made up though will have to try that one,

    Hello,
    Not sure if you ever solved your problem but I have a roll of MM wallpaper the same as yours. I also had it in my bedroom when I was a teenager. I found 2 rolls at a car boot sale a few years back and have used one in my downstairs loo.
