I'm always on the hunt for vintage table fans, sewing patterns, snowglobes, aprons, hats, handbags, cameras... just about anything that's 40+ years old, affordable, and fits in my car. :) My favorite haunts in the greater Denver area are:
Front Range Mercantile
Tables to Teacups
Lafayette Collectibles & Flea Market
Brass Armadillo
and my handy, local cadre of ARC stores!

My collection of mid-20th century ephemera!

Centre stage is my ever-expanding china cat collection but there's other random things including, on the right a Sylvanian (Calico Critter) in a martini glass who clearly thinks she's Dita. A lot of the cocktail ephemera I inherited from my grandparents.
