Vintage Find

This weekend was full of vintage office supply finds like this metal rubber stamp holder. Besides storing stamps I think this piece could serve many purposes like holding jewelry, small tubes of notions or spices, candles and even photographs. For 2 bucks, you can't beat the distressed and industrial appeal!

What did you find this weekend?

  16. I went antiquing again this weekend (for a friend!) but did come home with some fun stuff for myself... a big purple letter "A" for my daughter Abigail's room, a vintage scarf for myself and a vintage tablecloth! FUN FUN! I love this little stamp holder... I wonder if you could get a wide mouthed (but shallow?!?) glass cup and slip them in there to hold rings or little trinkets. Thanks for sharing!
