Haunting :: Some Saturday Finds
Oh, Lord. Kitty* and I hit the haunts today and whew... we were all over the place. Here are a couple of my finds:
A brass magazine rack with a relief of what looks to be a landing scene of a Spanish ship -- conquistadors? No telling really -- though I can't see any Spanish helmets on our landing party. It's marked "Peerage -- Made in England", and it definitely has some patina, if you know what I mean. But it will look fab in the living room -- I have a lot of magazines, and I need a lot of ways to corral them. And y'all know I love all things Americana/explorer/manifest destiny/history (what a thought-bucket!). Check the end of the post for an impromptu set-up.
This deck of playing cards was a steal! Love the type on this!
Okay ---- drummmmm rolllll pleeeease....
Oh this is going to be good.
More haunted stuff to come -- stay tuned!

Love the playing cards!
I thought you would like those -- kind of have an LP cover or band button vibe, no?
