Vintage Finds

These are a few of my finds from the weekend.

A couple of old books, and an old group photo. Everyone is dressed up and outside a church - maybe it was a wedding?

Mother Goose Rhyme book - this one has some amazing illustrations.

A monogrammed celluloid jewelry box.

Great art deco pin - the bottom arrow screws on and off.

An old marriage certificate. I thought the design was so pretty.

It is from 1901 in Stillwater, Minnesota - a really cute little town with lots of great antique shops.

Linked up to Nifty Thrifty Tuesday, hosted by Coastal Charm.

  2. I also have a similar wedding certificate - handwriting is lovely, isn't it? I love that pin - it would look so pretty on a scarf/shawl!

  6. Fun finds! I recently found a monogramed celluloid compact among my mother's things. I find it interesting that they would monogram the celluloid pieces. ~ Sarah
