As usual, I picked up a big stack of vintage photos at the flea market this month. One is one of my favorite finds ever! I'll save that one until the bottom of the post, so you better keep reading! Here are some of my favorites from this month:
Some for my dog collection of course.
I love finding a few of the same shot. Isn't that hound dog sweet?
See how sweetly she is holding them so they are facing the camera? Ha!
I try not to buy them if the dog is blurry or not looking, but I couldn't resist that pretty lady!
And of course, one for my awkward guys in swimsuits collection.
Does anyone else collect vintage photos? Do you pretend you only collect certain things to keep your collection from getting out of control? Now I'm collecting dogs, other animals, beaches, vacaction photos, guys in swimsuits, taxidermy, and anything weird.
That last one is so strange.......One of the heads looks really fake....I don't know what to make of it....
ReplyDeleteI collect vintage photos! I actually found out the best way to get vintage photos was to buy 35 mm slides off ebay. You can get a whole box for pretty cheap it you look around. The catch is you need a way to view them. I have a vintage projector and a screen as well as a devise that screws onto my camera to let me take pictures of them.
I also came to the realization that I was trying to collect everything. When traveling I often try to find the ugliest most ridiculous soueviner that the gift shop holds.
I also buy a postcard everywhere I go that sells them, its a relatively cheap way to get a souvenir.....of course its not cheap to buy vintage postcards, which I have a habit of doing :)
I also love vintage plastic snow globes. The cheap touristy ones that are all made of plastic.
jacob, we really are two of a kind. i like to buy a tacky magnet, then it went to also buying a vintage post card, and any smashed pennies i can find, and i LOVE plastic snow globes and have a small collection. if you and i traveled together we would come back with a card load of souvenirs!
DeleteI like the little family on the ladder and of course the Air Force guys with too much free time! When I was in high school I used to collect tin types, but I quickly stopped that because I saw myself getting out of control. Thankfully I have your photo posts to help me scratch that itch now. :)
ReplyDeleteI absolutely love the dog ones and the thirties clothing in the pictures. I thought of you yesterday because on the way home from my moms we stopped at a flea market and I got a vintage plate and a really cool science kit box from the 50s. Which there was more stuff like that around here
