And an estate sale, well really even a good dumpster can make me happy. I probably shouldn't really tell folks that part. Yesterday, even though I need NOTHING, I went treasure hunting at the local city college swapmeet. It was great because the heat and the holiday kept the crowds away- well not all of them- I ran into these 2 nice girls..
Michelle Caplin - and Hannah of Hannahmade-
Lucky for me they like me. And lucky for me we were not shopping for the same stuff, cause they are younger than me and I am sure can kick my ass. I do have a rule though, if you flip me the bird, you pretty much get your picture on my blog. My Dad was the first one to find out that I mean it. I also met this cutie yesterday..
I instantly wanted to go home and take a nap in a bowl. How does he make that look so good?? Anyway, I did score some great finds. I got 2 lovely metal frogs that are now holding photos in my living room, and these beautiful cards...
I love numbers and letters- I might just hang some of these on the wall as is. They came in a set and I don't need all of them so some are listed on etsy now. Oh that patina makes me nuts!
Happy 4th of July to you!!
I love Flinch cards! I'm so sorry I didn't run into you and Michele - darn! I was done by 10:30 though, so maybe you came later?

Judi- I think we were there around the same time- sorry we missed you, but as you can see, Michelle and Hannah were behaving poorly due to the heat....

LMAO! Hannah and I were there 8-10:30ish Judi! We probably crossed paths! :) The heat was awful! After a tall bloody mary I was much better behaved, I swear!

I went to this flea market for the first time that day and scored some tools so I was happy. I didn't get there till after 10 so it got really hot. I will definitely be back because I got tired of the heat and had to leave.

The 1925 on the front of the card... is that when they were made?

Amanda- too bad it got so hot! But definitely go back.
Rob- these cards were originally produced in 1913 as part of a game called flinch.
They are cool though huh?
