My little one and I went to a "new" (to me) antique mall and thrift store last week and found some real treasures. Thought you might like to have a peek...
...millinery from five hats, two iron hats stands (which I am always looking for and never find) and a hatbox..
...vintage toiletries for my daughter's bath - she picked out the rose bottle (good girl!)...
...gorgeous chocolate tin...
...the cutest pinking shears in the sweetest packaging...
...Holy Communion gift set from 1932...
...huge paper pulp calendar - can't wait to "foof" this up for Christmas...
...a sweet little vase...
...this yummy velvet box, vintage seam binding, opera programs from the Met and all these lovely postcards...
...large wedding "button" on stand...
...and my very favorite, a 1926 National Catalog. It is packed with amazing graphics and even a wallpaper sample. It's in lovely condition so I know that I won't be able to tear it up. I've got lots of scanning to do!...
Enjoy your day all!
I have one of those giant button things. Do you happen to know anything about them? I had never seen one before and I don't think I have seen once since I bought mine. (Mine is not in the greatest condition though.)

You never disappoint on the eye candy front! That catalog is fabulous and there is no way I could cut it up either. I am so proud of Ava. The child has got great taste! I'm also glad to know Sandra Evertson has a blog. Love her work.
