Can you imagine how much history is waiting to be uncovered in those treasure shops? It's too much to even imagine. I loved those certificates that you got! You always spark my enthusiasm to get out and hunt.

Some of my favorite pieces of ephemera were from bags like these, where someone was thinking ahead enough about preservation to bag and sell them, and not just toss them out.<BR/><BR/>PammyJo- Oh, old magazine advertising is SO much fun, and things around 1911-1920 were really beautiful-- lots of art nouveau and art deco influence, lovely colors... I bet it's amazing.<BR/><BR/>Choocha- It really is, I'm glad your husband was able to preserve some of them. I just don't know how people throw out family photos and things like that. It's sad to think either no one wants them, or no one is left from the family TO want them.Thrift Shop Romantichttp://thriftshopromantic.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5064894231149440617.post-48973251079501331912009-03-30T06:29:00.000-07:002009-03-30T06:29:00.000-07:00This is wonderful!

It's like finding someone's long-lost diary... a friend of my husband's while in Paris years ago came across a team of people emptying the apartment of someone who'd passed away. They loaded boxes of papers and photos on the curb which he then toted home. This man's whole life was in those boxes!

I just enjoyed your post so much. I love digging through old papers and I have a new bundle myself. Mostly old magazine advertising and several needlecraft mags from 1910 through 1916. I'm scanning many fun things. Will be visiting often, I've added you to my favorites. Thanks for the great post. :O)pammyjohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02161348858290328146noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5064894231149440617.post-65049792205603038362009-03-29T18:17:00.000-07:002009-03-29T18:17:00.000-07:00I love looking through "old paper".
