It's possible that I've shown off these great napkins already, but I can't remember, so here they are. After posting the 50s towels last week, I thought I'd better give...
Unfortunately these are mystery photos, with not a clue as to who or where. Well, there is a clue as to where - they are on a mountain and you can see the valley...
I've found some really wonderful vintage photos lately, everything from 1910s girls playing tennis to family camping scenes. This one is a favorite. Just because...
I love finding vintage Martex linen towels because they have a real following among people who know a good towel. They are the easiest thing in the world to sell because...
After weeks of rain, today was the perfect early fall day. Fall is the time for hiking here in the mountains, with crisp, cool days and low humidity that makes the...
I used this postcard as as illustration for a blog post over two years ago. In the time I've had it, I've puzzled over it and wondered about the three women in the...
Last week I posted photos of my Picasso print White Stag rain jacket, and I asked if anyone had any additional information. I knew I could count on the vintage lovers who read...
I thought I'd better write about this trip before I forgot about it. Tim and I have been going to Charleston for years - since the early 1980s. It's the place...
I got an email from my friend Hollis a couple of weeks ago. She had picked up some 1950s shorts at a sale and wanted to know if I would be interested in...
I'm still working on gathering info on White Stag, and to make it even more interesting I got an email from a researcher at a museum who had seen my Picasso for White Stag...
We are leaving in the morning for three days in beautiful Charleston, SC. This is a city we have visited many, many times, but it never gets old. Not to say that...
There was the Tammy card game from Whitman Toys. Actually I like these a whole lot better than most of the overly romantic, cluttered assemblages seen on Polyvore these days....
I should have posted these earlier, but I get side-tracked fairly easily! This is a view of just a very small part of the annual Hillsville Flea Market and Gun Show. ...
Chances are you've never heard of him, but Masa was a pivotal player in the struggle to have a national park established in the mountains of Western North Carolina. He...
I've always known that I inherited my love of flea markets and other places that sell other people's junk. My dad loved them and yardsales and other such junky...
I was recently notified by one of my favorite bloggers, Marie at Nature, Cycling and Finding America, that she thought The Vintage Traveler was worthy of the Kreativ...
Yes, it's time for another vintage roadtrip! This time I'm headed to Winston-Salem, NC for a day of museum hopping, and then on Friday, it's on to the massive flea market at...
Since finding the wonderful Davidow fabric, I thought I'd get out a Davidow suit I have. This one is a beautiful silk tweed, in a color very close to the wool...
I went to one of my favorite shopping places today - the Goodwill Clearance Center. I go there mainly for one reason: to look for vintage fabrics. Today I got...
Some of my all time most popular posts have been the ones I've made on local summer camps, especially Camp Dellwood. I'm still getting comments and emails from girls who...
I've been reading this book, Women in Pants, for the past day or so, and I've got to say how much I really loved it. Ironically, I almost didn't buy it; in fact...
I just got a nice little shipment of vintage photos from primelias at etsy. If you love old photos, you really do need to favorite her shop. Just don't buy...
I've always been a big fan of vintage White Stag, but lately I've come to realize that the label is my new favorite. The ad above is from 1955 and I jusr love all the...
I posted this postcard several weeks ago, and you may recall that this was the camping lodge of George Vanderbilt. He had built an over-the-top mansion, Biltmore House,...
I've seen a lot of patterns in my day, but rarely have I seen gymsuit patterns. I got this one today in a trade with a local antique store. Actually I got seven...
