My Vintage Paper Stash...*photo heavy!*

I've been collecting vintage papers and cards and ephemera since William and I started going to estate sales about 8 years ago.   Cards...invitations...old checkbooks (before they had account numbers on them...what?), receipts, plane tickets, game pieces, playing cards, recipe cards, magazines...whew...should I keep going?  Children's books, postage stamps, old photographs and albums, cookbooks, decorating books....you get the idea.  If it's made of paper, I scout it.  If it stinks, I leave it (most of the time).  If it's stained, I usually toss it (I've pitched lots of envelopes too...who wants to lick an old envelope?  haha...)

So...here you go!  These pictures only give you a GLIMPSE of what I have.  I'll let the pictures do the talking...
