I was fortunate enough to acquire a lovely pile of antique paper items a while back. I finally took some pics to share. They are mostly imperfect but lovely nonetheless, like the two piece picture above.
Lots of great old advertising cards.
Lovely Victorian scraps.
A great old children's book with wonderful illustrations and a headless lady.
Nothing like donning your Sunday best to sell some root beer!
A rather terrifying picture of a young tot with a feisty chicken. The partial cat on the right has incredible embossed detail.
Love this odd advertising pun. "Greatest Bargain I Ever...."
"Saw" Get it? Saw. Not something I would have associated with the sale of....
Magic yeast cakes. I guess I should rethink the usefulness of a saw in my own kitchen.
Children with dolls and toys, always a winner.
China head dolls, my very favourite!
I found the head for the young lady. Not sure what she is advertising but it stands on its own and is made from heavy cardboard.
A colourful advertising fan to bid you "adieu" with. I hope you have a good week and thank you for dropping by.

Hello Jennifer...oh, I just love this post. I adore vintage paper, but your sense of humor really made this fun to read. Thanks for sharing. I think I like the china head doll one the best! Such fun. You come across the most amazing things. I still treasure some of the ephemera you sent me! Not parting with that!
Hugs,
LInda
