Found (vintage) Things

This fell out of a vintage pattern when I opened it up to count the pieces.

Jonathan Logan Ad, 1962

I love little surprises like that. A few weeks ago I found a wonderful old hankie in a coat pocket. Perfectly clean and folded, just like brand new.
Though it’s not something I would have purchased separately it is somehow a special little treasure. Lagniappe, maybe.

I have a small box of things found in pockets and purses. Some day there may be enough to make a decent showing. The best thing ever found in a vintage item that I have yet heard about was the ticket for prostitution in a 1960s handbag. This was Bret's, a former (?) member's find.

That is now at the top of my list of "things I want to find in a pocket besides cash".

A couple of months ago a 40s paper doll (complete with several outfits) fell out of a 1920s "King Arthur" I'd just bought at an estate sale. Guess a young girl had put the pieces in the book to flatten them,, and then forgotten they were there.

Vintage surprises are definitely the best!
