Excellent Vintage Finds August 1, 2008

I stopped by a yard sale today near my house.  This was the most awesome yard sale ever.  I don’t think a single thing at the yard sale was bought within the past 20 or more years.  I got some really excellent vintage & handmade finds.

This purse is so cool.  I can tell it was well used because there are pen marks on the inside of the leather flap.  It needs to air out some but I will be carrying this soon.

I also found this wallet, which needs to be cleaned well, but is otherwise in great condition and super cute.

I think this may be my favorite find.  It’s a coin purse type thing with a mirror inside.

I found a bunch of scarves but I resisted and only bought 4.

There is a vintage tea tin at my office very similar to this one.  I could not pass this one up for a quarter.

This is a set of 4 curtains that are hand made.  I love this vintage fabric.  I’m thinking of hanging them in my studio.

I love aprons and I couldn’t pass up these super adorable vintage & handmade aprons.  One is super frilly and I think it has never been worn.  Two of them are cobbler or smock style aprons.  They fit me perfectly.

Zoe was being feisty the whole time I was taking photos.  He kept sweeping his tail into the shot and knocking things around.
