special souvenirs

Some might consider these charming little treasures kitsch.
Maybe so...but I think beach themed vintage souvenirs are some of the most special summer inspired collectibles!
They can range from old postcards to bathing beauties to vintage swimming suits. They are all equally exciting to find and fun to display. This collection features pieces from the 1920's through the 1950's and the pink and green color palette is fabulously feminine. Enjoy...

vintage tablecloths...

 
handkerchiefs...

 
metal toys...

 
postcards...

 
even broken bits are as charming as can be...

and my favorite girl of all...

 
I think that there are times when collectors become too
focused on the value of a collection.
To me the thrill of the hunt and the joy each piece gives is priceless. Collecting anything...including vintage souvenirs...should put a smile on your face.
There is no better reason in the world
to  set out in search of treasure.
Happiness!
Now get out there in search of what makes you happy...
