Flea Market Ephemera

Last Sunday was the last big flea market of the summer in Santa Rosa, CA. It was slim pickin’s as many sellers stayed home due to the heavy drizzle/light rain. But I was still able to find a few paper treasures to share with you for your vintage collages and other crafty projects! After scanning, I took a few of the images into Photoshop to remove any handwriting so you can personalize them yourself. Just click on each image to enlarge, save and enjoy!

Thank you for sharing...I still enjoy the originals over the computer copies for collaging.

Thank you so much. Such amazing ressources for all different kinds of projects. I've been making boxes for knitted headbands and was searching for labels like this! Too bad it was too late for my project this time. I'm sure to use them with the next one! Thank you thank you thank you :-)

Well the "game animals" cover is hilarious! "Game" as in hunting, right? And here's this idyllic cover with the little gate, suggesting hunting is like a walk in the park on a pleasant Sunday afternoon. : )

Love the colors and lettering!

I didn't even know there WAS a flea market in Santa Rosa! Have you ever been to the one in Sebastopol? Found anything good there? I've been meaning to go (I live not so far from there =)...maybe some day soon!

Awesome treasures and love your blog!
