I took a drive to my favorite little town about 30 minutes south of Greensboro, NC (where I now live) to check out a great antique mall. SO glad that I did! Oh, the treasures I found! I knew that you all would understand my excitement. I mean, I was literally squealing over a few of these finds. As always, I was on a budget - the most that I spent on one item was $8, most things were $1!
Little lovelies on a roll of vintage wallpaper...
A wire desk basket filled with goodies -
player piano rolls, vintage pom poms, an old cigar box. I got the two ballerina prints for my daughter's room and the 3 little notebooks to embellish... The 3 letterpress stamps are from the local newspaper and date from the 1950s. They say "Bon Sheer", "Tiedthe's Parkdale" and "Mini Pastels".
I'm always looking for sheet music and vintage magazines -
I have been searching high and low for vintage seam binding (the new stuff just does not compare!) and look what I found!
As if that wasn't enough - look at all of these pretties!
Oh my! I am a lucky girl! Hope that you are having good luck in your treasure hunting as well!
Did you go to Salisbury? I live in Concord/Mt. Pleasant and I go to Salisbury every Wednesday. Have you ever been to the Carolina Lily? It's right off of I-85. I love your blog. We have the same taste in vintage.
