{ i heart vintage }

This past weekend I was able to pop over to the Second Sunday Antique Fair with my daughter. My little one loves to play "school" with her friends and I thought it would  be fun to create a mini classroom in her clubhouse--mixing in some vintage school items. As my daughter said, "We scored!" {Do you think I've rubbed off on her a bit?}

some of you might remember this little treasure. I've had it in the back of my mind since I passed on it the first time around. I was thrilled to happen upon it again {and at a much more reasonable asking price!}

vintage camera

...and a petite treat for moi--someone's well loved camera is now my well loved camera, For $4, I couldn't pass it up. I'm anxious to see if it actually works.

Honestly, I'm happy to window shop at this monthly event and often come home without anything. But, I have to admit, that it's also fun to stumble upon a few affordable treasures every now and then.  How about you? Do you enjoy the thrill of the hunt even when you don't find anything special to take home?

    I *so* need those flash cards! They would be perfect for my french class - I could put the french translation on the back.
    You are a lucky girl!

    I LOVE the hunt. Even if I come home with a single pack of buttons, it's still a thrill. Thanks for the beautiful images.

    The hunt can be the best part. Well, the best part right up until you score as well as you did!
