If you follow the Facebook page, you probably noticed all the vintage photos, catalog scans, and sale announcements I have been posting. Each week, I pick a theme and post a few images a day. The response has been great, so I thought I would share those same images here on the blog too.
Last week’s theme was Vintage Dancing (of course!). Here are the images I shared:
