One of my favorite things to do is to go antiquing. I am very picky and only buy things now if I absolutely love them, but it's always a natural high when I find that special something! I found this in my favorite local antique shop about three weekends ago. It was just kind of stuck in a jar all folded up. I'd been there the day before and hadn't noticed it. I'd come back to buy another old fruit plate I'd found and decided I had to have another one. Well, this was just waiting for me! I love old old postcards, but this fan postcard is rare, especially to find in this condition. The vendor was even having a 20% off sale, so I paid all of $15 for it! It's so sweet and is marked 1901! Can you imagine, over 100 years old and still in good condition. This is a keeper and I've laid it out on my sideboard in my LR. Had to share!

That is beautiful!! You're right.... it is a fabulous find! And at a great price, too.
You are so blessed to live close to an antique shop....and yes this is a great find. My smallest bathroom has a collection of old fans hanging on the wall over my vanity.
