Letters & Numbers

I have been absent from blogging since my lap top went in for repair.  It is now on it's fourth hard drive.  It's fixed now, but I was without it for a few weeks.  So, where was I? 

I can't resist buying letters and numbers .  I love the graphic and simple designs on game pieces, signs, containers, etc.  Here are a few photos from my collections:

 

And here are some photos of great items available on Etsy should you want to start your own collection.

Featuring Gracie's Cottage

I made the trip up to Baraboo, Wisconsin today to visit Jan of Gracie's Cottage who was a vendor at the antique show.  Kathy was there too - both were busy setting up their booth in the humidity and heat.  They have exceptional displays and great merchandise.  Below is a small sampling of their interesting and fun wares.  (Be sure to hop over to Jan's blog, Gracie's Cottage, for a listing of future shows.)

Shopping in Minnesota

Headed to Minnesota for some vintage shopping this past weekend and stopped at many great places along the way.  Here is a peek at some of the treasures I found that will be listed in our Etsy shop in the coming weeks.

We currently have a number of listings in our Etsy shop for vintage letters, numbers and signs:

Following are some decorating ideas for displaying these collectibles:

Line numbers in a vintage display rack - this one was used for discount coupons.

Magnets were attached to small vintage license plates
