Memories found

I saw this  vintage scrapbook in a box at the weekly auction. I saw that it had alot of greeting cards in it so I put it on my bid list. I won! In my hurry to check out the other items , I neglected to look under the scrapbook in the box.

Under the book, I found certificates for insurance and mortgages from the 1870's and 1880's.
I also found bank receipts, letters and photos from the 1920's and 30's.
Those were all a bonus as the scrapbook had me at the cover.

flea Market Treasure

I have more treasures from the flea market to show you. I hope, now that it is summer, you are out finding your own treasures in the sunshine. I found 2 boxes of unused, vintage greeting cards. The card on the right, with the flower heads, is on acetate and unfolds. Very sweet. 


These baby kimonos must have been stored away as there are no signs of use. They have the daintiest embroidery of bears and elephants. 
Doesn't this look fresh from the farmer's market? A fruit printed table topper . Again, I don't think it was ever used as I can't find a stain and the colors are so bright. Perfect for a summer table. 
Well, I have to run as there is an auction tonight. Have a happy and safe holiday weekend!
