On our way to Asheville this past weekend, Isaac and I stopped off at the
Liberty Antiques Festival (a twice yearly antiques show that covers a huge field). While almost all of the tents are filled with antique furniture and smalls, there were a handful of booths with vintage accessories, jewelry, and few pieces of clothing. Despite the lack of vintage clothing, I was still able to find a few treasure that I just wouldn't leave behind.
The first tent we stopped into had a huge collection of vintage purses and jewelry, along with more linens than I've seen in one place.

| Vintage purses. The navy & white 1940s telephone cord purse HAD to go home with me! |
 |
| More vintage purses. It was killing me to leave some of them behind (especially the red & white cloth with the black celluloid handle). |
 |
| One of the three cases filled with bakelite! Sadly, it was all too much for my budget. |
I had intended to take lots of photos to share with you, but...alas...after this first booth, I was way to distracted with looking, shopping, and playing to remember to snap away.
And here are some of the goodies that found their way home with me...
 |
| A few vintage display pieces for some upcoming pop-up shops. |

Left: A 1940s navy & white telephone cord purse.
Right: a 1930s black felt cloche hat. |
 |
| A 1920s rayon knit flapper jacket with miles & miles of fringe. |
 |
| I love pieces like this...they can easily be paired with a vintage dress or with a pair of jeans. |
 |
It is going to take a little work to restore it, but it will so be worth it!

Is the black cloche still available for sale?
