New vintage finds!

Finally sharing the vintage goodies I found at an estate sale when we were up north!

Blue Gingham metal tray
Silhouette picture in frame
2 cards, Birthday and Mother's Day (the back has a sweet note from "Mildred")

Above:
A collection of magazines & small books (Open page in the center right)
Singer Home Decorators Guide & 2 Insurance Receipt books (1940's - open pages on bottom right)
Half circle table (thankfully it was so small and light it fit in the car for the drive home! I haven't decided if it will get a coat of paint yet)
2 School Books (Speller and History, on top of table)

All this for $25.00!

Just realized I forgot to take a photo of one other item, but I'll post a pic as soon as I get it framed and hung. It's a marriage license, and so pretty!

(And on a side note...I am so excited to finally know how to make a photo collage! I don't know what I was so nervous about...using Picasa it was so easy! Maybe one of these days I'll finally figure out all of these blogging tricks! ha ha!)

    1. Thanks Sarah! :) I really enjoy your blog as well...I lived in England for a while and do miss it. Never made it to the Cotswolds though, we were in the Leeds/York area. What I wouldn't give for a traditional Sunday roast beef dinner...Yorkshire Pudding - yum!
      I'll be posting more soon...the kiddos have kept me so busy lately, as they tend to do. :)
