Flea Market Finds

I'm so lucky to have an eleven year old daughter who likes going to flea markets and antique stores as much as I do!  Last Thursday was a half a day from school and she turned down two play dates (if they have those at age eleven?) to visit a local antiques mall with me.

She collects vintage china and jewelry and found some really nice pieces.  Of course for me it's all about the paper.  I found a fabulous old atlas to add to my collection plus a few other treasures:

A lovely old blank ledger from the 1818, a spool of twine that was calling my name and a cabinet card in great condition.

I also picked up a few more vintage Christmas postcards to add to my collection.  When I got home a clipped them onto a piece of branch I stuck in an old white jug.  I think I need to add a few more....

Happy weekend!
