More vintage treasures . . .

Hope you've had a great week!
Today we are going antique shopping in Aurora, Oregon. 

Just sharing a few new vintage treasures . . .


 WWI nurse's trunk

[sold]

 Old Stube scale (don't know what type of scale this is;
let me know if you know anything)

 Putz houses

 An enamelware chamber pot?
and some vintage number flash cards

 A country board you  can attach papers to ~ I know it looks bad now . . . 
but how would it look painted chippy white 
or as a chalkboard with black chalkboard paint? 
Wouldn't it make a great sign for the shop? What do you think? 
White or a chalkboard or a combo of both?


Thanks for visiting. Would love to hear any input you have on any of the above.
Off to Aurora . . . 
Have a great weekend!

~ Julie

    Dear Julie, What a little treasure trove you have here.I should love the trunk. I used to have one....many years ago now....but I have no idea what became of it and now I really wish that I still had it in my possession. I could place it in my Budapest hall so that it looks as if a special jourey constantly awaits me....

    Yes, a blackboard for your store...lovely!!

    What fun treasures, that first trunk is to die for. I love your Valentine's banners too. So darn cute.

    I just went off for a weekend of antiquing, too. One of my absolute favorite things to do. Love all your treasures. I think the last piece would make a terrific blackboard.
