Today was Small Business Appreciation Day and I managed to coax HWNSNBP into taking a walk through downtown Somerville - the nearest town to us and where our kids went to high school. Unfortunately, it was drizzling and though it wasn't cold, it was a bit uncomfortable walking around and there wasn't as much of a crowd as we had anticipated. (Though that can be a good thing too.) We did drop into a few stores but the one that we spent the most time in was an antique emporium. I could have spent the whole afternoon there, but I didn't want my escort to get too bored so after spending a bit of time going through a box of vintage postcards, I took a quick walk-through and then finished up with this purchase of five Christmas-themed postcards. I do have a purpose in mind for them which I will hopefully get to post at a later date. But since the prompt for Our Beautiful World this week is VINTAGE, I am sharing them now.
The background for my postcard photos are the strips of scrapbook paper that I am using to make......
these stars for my Christmas Elf project. I'll share more of that too at a later date.
Let me be off to keep folding and also to check out the other VINTAGE photos from around the world at Our Beautiful World. Won't you join me?
Awesome post, thanks for sharing with us at Our Beautiful World!
