I found some great stuff at the show. I got a box of Easter egg dye for my collection. I also found more rubber eggs that were once inflated. I found some at Round Top last year and had never seen them before. Excited to add a few more to my stash.
Some vintage plastic bunnies. I now have a small army of those in front. I have mine hold lollipops (they originally have shovels).
I collect My Visit to Santa photos. I was surprised with My Visit to the Easter Bunny photos. The graphics on the folders are wonderful.
Fun photos inside.
A bit more Easter.
And a little more. The nodder needs a little TLC. I love the little honeycomb chicks.
I found a whole tiny flock of these chicks with hats.
A great trellis shelf and a couple of old Easter bunny heads.
This is an unusual find. I have a similar item I found on my Kansas trip. The flag on the top reads MY FRIENDS. It is basically a giant pincushion and should have little felt flag pins with it. I think you would write the name of your friends on the flag and put it in the appropriate spot to label your friend. I would put a flag with Amy's name on the GREAT spot! Dated 1965.
Some old honey boxes, party horns and candy containers. The honey boxes came from a booth run by Apron Thrift Girl. Amy recognized her and we chatted with her a bit.
Party invites, a baby toy and the cutest honeycomb cherries!
These wood stars will be perfect for some fourth of July crafting. Cake decorations and black bump chenille.
A pair of the swim shoes that I showed in one of the photos yesterday. I could not resist this unusual item. Will go in my someday beach house with my swim cap collection.
I pictured these yesterday in my post as well. This is an old stock vintage bridesmaid bouquet. So unusual!
I could not resist a clown party horn. I have a bunch of oddball ones. This may be a collection challenge someday.
A WONDERFUL FIND. An old linoleum poster with a bunch of varieties that were manufactured.
I want one of these designs in my house!
Good Alameda finds! Post coming next on road trip finds.
Happy day!
Oh my goodness! You did so well. So many amazing treasures. Vintage Easter is not easy to find. You did very well. Those honeycomb cherries are fabulous too! Can you even imagine having one of those linoleum pattern in your house?! Too fun!!

Oy Vey! Love the friend pincushion, and the trellis is a little piece of heaven! And those Congoleum patterns....gorgeous.
I think I would be overwhelmed at a show like that, because I would want to seek out all the bloggers I know, as I would've recognized Apron Thrift Girl too, as well as some others I follow. How do you do that in one day?!

Oh what fun! I love those old congoleum patterns and would adore if they would reproduce on a wool rug. Maybe I would finally be able to replace the one in my living room. I saw a piece of an old linoleum rug years ago that was the perfect thing and got it in my head and have never been able to find a new rug that "measures up".

Got on here first thing this morning and drooled over your blog, got some coffee and drooled some more. I'm on here again tonight looking some more!! I'm just in love with all your Easter finds. The little lamb and cart and nodder is just too cute. Trellis shelf....LOVE it! Why isn't there linoleum like that now that we can buy? I would want some of those in my house too!!
Thanks for keeping the posts coming while you're gone :-)

What fun finds! I have two of the little inflated eggs. Do yours rattle when you shake them?

I'm always delighted by the wonderful things you find! Those shoes!! The bouquet!

I've never seen vinyl eggs either - you have the Midas touch!

I definitely would order some linoleum like that. One of my early apartments had a red floral ... it was a pretty great place all around.
