Going Postal

It's Brimfield Fair week!! We try and make our way out there at least once a year, and I'm hoping to get out there this weekend. I'm usually totally overwhelmed by collections, but every year like a magnet, I'm drawn to the vintage postcard booths. I've always been a sucker for these and love rifling through the bins looking for familiar places and reading the endearing notes scrawled on the back.
More than the love notes, its the color palettes that keep me coming back. The hand tinted illustrations that barely change from Egypt to Vermont. The same sunset in every part of the world. Best part, my obsession rarely costs me more than $4 a pop–way more budget friendly than the Eames chairs I usually find a Brimfield.
