What a week for the East Coast... an earthquake and now a hurricane!
So hunker down, stay in, and browse through my latest vintage treasures... and if you're not bracing for a hurricane, just take a minute to check out some neat old finds:

Beautiful, embossed, pointed edge MZ Austria petite roses plate.
This one was hard to part with!
This one was hard to part with!
Two sets of (5) Haviland Limoges plates.
A romantic trio of things... antique Paris (Le Tour Eiffel ooh la la!) postcard, large brass skeleton key hanging from a pink ribbon, and a World War II soldier's photo. I love the push pin holes to show how often his photo was pinned up.
The reverse side of the Paris postcard. In French!
example of vintage fashion. There is a belt loop on the back to show it was worn.
on a black, red, or ivory sweater for this year's holiday season.
Looks brand new. She has red hair too!
I saw these pins and thought of the show Mad Men.
And so are these clocks. I LOVE the art deco design of the square clock.
put a song in my heart.
I counted 13 ten inch pieces plus the two shorter gates.
This will definitely fit around a larger tree.
I saw these pins and thought of the show Mad Men.Vintage retro is so much fun!
And so are these clocks. I LOVE the art deco design of the square clock.Both by Ingraham. And they both do a lot of tick tocking!
Sitting next to each other, they were driving me crazy.
Wind 'em up each night before you go to bed, just like Grandma did!
A Gregorian copper watering can. I did not take a copper cleaner to it. Somepeople like the vintage patina... so I'll let the new owner decide.
And some bits of history from old War War II letters.
In high school I was in the musical "South Pacific."
This photo made me think of the song "Nothing like a Dame!"
I think mixed media artists and scrapbook lovers will
enjoy this collection of ephemera.

Jillian,
I am in love with the watering can...the gardener in me I guess!
Great finds again this week.
Love,

Very nice listings. I'd be interested in trying those little skeleton keys... Always enjoy checking out your store.
Hmmm . . . the plates are delicious - but the old photos of soldiers are intriguing. Who were they? What was their story? That's why I love old things - mystery and story hidden within!
Joy!

P.S. Know you're fine riding out the storm - but hope mom is okay! Poor Cape May!
The keys, the old photos, and the post card - I LOVE THEM! I'll tell you a little something. My husband sent me a post card in the mail before I ever even met him when I was only 16 years old. That post card I still have and will keep forever. Every time I see a post card, I smile. I enjoyed your post today so much.
