Yesterday was the last great Antique expo of the year, my favorite marathon of endurance antique shopping! Whenever I get there I get so overwhelmed with amazing things that I can never actually figure out when to actually buy. There were many things I wanted, and a few were actually in my budget, but in the end I just went for my favorite thing and bought a ton of antique trade cards and ephemera. After looking at my pictures I guess the other things I was most attracted to yesterday were the old stuffed animals. I love their worn fur and funny little faces, none of those were even close to my budget though! I'm going to be slowly adding all the ephemera I bought to my ephemera blog, but I've already added a few of my favorites so take a look over at Ephemeratopia
Wow -- looks like quite the antique show. I can't believe I've never been! How do prices compare with Portland antique shops? I love that aquarium ephemera piece you found.
