Finds
Well, what a weekend. Camping, shopping, browsing antiques, and of course I couldn’t help but buy a few things. I love pinups, so I had to buy these beauties, and they were a 1/4 of the price from what the price tag listed. SCORE! and how about some old railroad tin signs. Very small only a few inches wide.
