    hiya! just came across your shop via modish and wanted to let you know that i think that it rocks.

    while it's a tough choice to make, i'd say that my favourite item in your shop would definitely be the yellow mug. hands down!

    And the way you have it displayed! What a perfect card-holder!
    I like the idea of the mixed-paper journals quite a bit...and the big ring is perfect for tying a pen loop to!:D

    I am pretty sure that I would love to have any paper good that you have in your shop, but I let out a gasp when I saw the vintage bingo calling cards.

    I came this way via Modish. Enjoy your new adventures!!

    Tough choice.... I like the 1940's Monopoly pieces and the travel books from the 50's... but since I'm a travel agent I'll go with the travel books as my fave.

    Great shop with lots of funky treasures!
