With winter on the way, I will truly miss going to the outdoor flea markets.
I ventured out this morning. It was 40 degrees so I pulled out my big winter coat.
I walked around the flea market picking up a few little things here & there.
I walked past the first set of tables going back to my car and this is what I spotted...
It was in a hideous frame but I saw past that.
This handwriting makes my heart skip a beat!
Does anyone write like this anymore?
Does anyone write like this anymore?
The envelope is post marked 1895.
The frame was filled with all this vintage lace.
I wonder if the name on the envelope is the lady in the picture?
There was no date on the photo but it is labeled
1177 Broadway near 28th St NY
This beautiful lady in her fancy chair with her vintage lace and letter
totally made my day....and the best part? It was only $5.00...
I know..somebody pinch me!!!!
