What Sells and What Doesn't...

My blog friend Carol at

The Polka Dot Closet Blog

has been featuring weekly Blog guests

on a segment called, 

"What Sells & What Doesn't..."

at an Antique Mall booth.

This is very helpful info if you are

thinking about selling at an Antique Mall

or are new to selling at one...

This week, I was the guest blogger...

Vintage Printable - Eiffel Tower Paris

Bonjour mes amis!!!

How about a fabulous

 vintage image of the Eiffel Tower?

I couldn't believe how lucky

I was to find this vintage postcard {circa 1919} 

at the Paper & Postcard Show I attended

last week here in Phoenix...I never find any old

images of the Eiffel Tower!!!

I always find images of everything 

else in Paris, 

but the Eiffel Tower...

I created a few different

variations of the image...

with sheet music background

in shades of pinks and blues...

I just LOVE old photos!!!

I don't know who any of the

people are in any of the ones 

I have in my collection...hubby 

thinks it's quite strange that

I collect old photos. LOL!

~~~

Speaking of collecting old things...

 

Here are a few photos of the

Paper & Post Card Show I attended

last week...it was in a big room at

a church in Central Phoenix...

Maybe less than 20 vendors.

 Shoppers were mostly hunting 

through the extensive postcard collections...

Vintage Halloween post cards are very rare

and fetch BIG bucks!!!

{Swoon!} 

Random $1 ephemera...

More vintage papers...{ephemera}

I didn't take many photos...but, this

gives you an idea of the show.

You can always find quality post cards

or antique photos at shows like this

from vendors who have been in the business

for many decades...they usually have thousands

of items...not just a shoebox of post cards. Ha ha!

 

It was my 2nd year attending...

I always leave with wonderful finds!

Thanks for stopping by!!!
