BLOGTOBERFEST - Day 15 - On My Desk

I've been meaning to share these gorgeous goodies with you for ages. A few weeks ago I went to a vintage auction and scored myself this amazing swap card album.

It's is perfect condition and is full of beautiful 1960's swap cards.




It was such a great find.

I don't have any plans for them Gillian. I'm just going to keep them and love them and get them out to look at every now and then.
