On Saturday, I got 6 vintage oilskin children's aprons, from the 1970s I am guessing. They are a bit paint-splattered in places, but I don't mind that at all. My favourite is the Snoopy one. Iris is torn between that and the Winnie the Pooh one. I expect some of them will find their way into my shop at www.eravintage.com and the one or two that we keep will be further well-loved (and paint-splattered!).
And then today, I got a whole lot of books, a pair of Dr Seuss's finest, which are not vintage copies but it is amazing to think that those stories were written in the late 1950s. A wonderful vintage book called A Book of Ghosts, which has some lovely graphic illustrations in it, I expect they'll make it into a post soon, a Jan Pienkowski illustrated story of Christmas (you'll have to wait until it's seasonally appropriate for me to show that one!) and also a book on Paper Sculpture from 1973 for me, which I am very excited about, I really want to learn more about paper craft.
A tidy haul I'm sure you'll agree.
