As I said, I picked up a few things at the Brimfield show last week, because you can’t go there and NOT find anything, that would be impossible.
For me, anyhow!
Old stuff is aesthetically more interesting than most new stuff.
Again, for me, anyhow!
Some of the things I am a sucker for are vintage children’s books:
This coloring book is from 1934, and was never used. Why is that a little sad?
These are from 1950- I especially love the alphabet one!
These are teeny- about 3″ each. Wee stuff is always extra cute!
A little salute to Belgium and Holland:
That’s a wine label, I think…plus some sweet wooden shoes.
I always manage to find at least a few “new” old fabrics…
New-old stock Easter candy box= LOVE!
Another mysterious love- old, unused stickers, preferably the gummed paper kind, and especially if they’re in their original package!
Also an unused decal from one of our favorite meccas…Santa’s Village in NH!
And a little something more medieval, too:
Rampant unicorns! Huzzah!
That’s most of what I picked up. I guess I am generally an ephemera lover!
Some great finds, Liz! I love that coloring book, especially. It looks like it would be fun to color in. Thanks for sharing!
WOW!!! You know I’m just drooling over all the cool treasures you found (and saw)!!! Anytime you get tired of that adorable Easter candy box, I’d be happy to find a new home for it!!!! (Ha!) Thanks so much for letting me have a peek at your great day!
