WHAT KIND OF VINTAGE MATERIALS DO YOU LIKE TO WORK WITH?

I have been treasure hunting at thrift stores, estate sales, garage sales and more since the 1970's. I love vintage magazines, old photographs (especially with children and dogs; or a group of adults doing a funny pose or activity), post cards, playing cards, greeting cards, matchbook covers, postage stamps, paper dolls, old newspapers - pretty much any kind of ephemera.

I've been selling vintage at local antiques malls and on Etsy or quite a while, and so I have picked up plenty of these treasures to last me a lifetime!

Mark - thanks for the offer, but if you wouldn't mind, hold off for a bit. I am planning on adding specific pages to the group - pages where members can share their vintage images digitally (and don't mind if other members download them). I would like to set up something by category. I'm hoping to do this over the next few days.
