More great finds....

Here are some more
of the great finds from
vendor night at
 This great vintage card is 3 dimensional
to reveal the treasure in the chest...
the lock is a real charm... 
I loved the graphics on this tin
and it was in wonderful shape $3
The swordfish and the watch
are probably a cracker jack prize and a dimestore toy...
.25 cents each!
I love kitschy bits for children!
I purchased several of these book facings to make some 
journals or projects with...
I love all the designs...

This leather cover was too lovely to pass up
and I have so many ideas for the windows page...
I paid anywhere from $1-$3 depending on the size.
The leather cover is quite large...
I have been looking for some of these
religious cards for a while at a decent price...
The Guardian Angel is a favorite of mine...
My great grandmother had a large one like it over one of her beds...
I think I paid $1 each..
Then I visited my favorite paper dealer...
all of these postcards were only .25 cents each!
I purchased some for certain colors and some just because 
I found them interesting.
I like how a few of the above with the purple are Christmas
instead of the traditional red and green...
 
Lots of roses and poppies and nasturtiums...
They are such wonderful little works of art...
I really like the ones that incorporate landscapes into the designs..
Easter...
Bluebirds and swallows...
and 
lots more...
I love violets and pansies...
Isn't the aged glitter fabulous?!
This one could be framed as your own little classical landscape...
the colors don't convey well here
but they blend together so lovely .

Again
a great time for a Saturday night!
I have really been resisting the urge to shop...
but this was a a special occasion!

Thanks for stopping by!

  1. These cards are so wonderful. What a treasure trove! Pam, after emptying out my sewing room and office for new carpet, I cannot find my piece of paper with your last name and address on it, for your "Pay It Forward" gift. Would you mind giving it to me again? Thank you! -Derrith
