If you know me at all you would know I have a love for all things old, things that I can alter or use in my art. I tend to shop mostly at thrift stores, yard sales, rummage sales, flea markets antique stores and auctions. I have been busy this week.
Last night I was at Westsound Auctions in Belfair and found a few great treasures that I could afford. If my pockets were deeper there was much more I would have loved to take home. I try my best to be a responsible bidder and stay within my alloted budget for the night!
Cabinet Cards
Love the 3 sisters(?)
The tin types, cabinet cards and 2 pictures were one box lot.

The dolls open to a garland of six sets, the there is a post card of a Matson Luxury Liner that would have sailed from Los Angeles to Honolulu. The last piece is a vintage ephemera coin purse most likely from an early 1900's scrapbook.
