I have been traveling around in the Lehigh Valley and Berks County,
Pennsylvania this week. I'm finding all kinds of great stuff. This area
never ceases to amaze me- the wonderful old things just keep coming out of the old woodwork.
I
have saved the best of my trip for last: a paper show tomorrow (a dealers' and
collectors' mecca of paper, books, maps, advertising,
ephemera….basically anything printed.) This is my idea of a really,
really good time.
Needless to say, I will not be at the Brooklyn
Flea in Ft. Greene tomorrow or open in the shop, but I will be at the
Brooklyn Flea in Williamsburg on Sunday 4/28. Expect to see lots of
interesting new merchandise.
Here are some photos of things
that struck my fancy this week. Most of which I could not drag back with
me. Alas, they were too big to fit in my little van. Fun to look at
though.
