I was going to do a post today on my ironstone collection and as I was taking some pictures I got the sudden urge to go to my favorite antique shop. They have a great assortment from quite a few different vendors. Every time I go, I know I will never come home empty handed. The first thing I found were these little chairs. Aren't they just yummy!? They are old place card holders.
Look at the little forget-me-nots tied onto the back...The little velvet seats are in either red, sage green and a pretty pink. I listed some in my shop. I have a ton but am not sure how many I'm willing to let go just yet.
I think they would make cute pin cushions.
Found this cute little metal basket and a girl can never have enough buttons right!
Some of the vendors also make some of their own items. I had seen this little pin cushion the last time I visited and was happy to see it was still there. 
Also found a ledger book and this cute little music book from the 40's.

Oh my gosh you hit the jack pot! Those chairs are soooo cute!
A charmed life for sure! You stuck gold with all those little chairs! I have eight of them. Mine have seats in pink, aqua, and red velvet! I love them!
I saw one of those little chairs in my favorite junk shop once. I picked it up but then decided to put it back 'cause I already had a bunch of other stuff picked out. Of course, the next time I was there, it was gone. I've wanted one ever since and haven't been able to find one. Guess they're all at that shop you went to!
Well, I'm a dork. Guess I should read past the first line before I write my comment! I see you put those chairs in your etsy shop! Yeah!!!

THose little placecard chairs with the posies are darling. I have seen them pictured on some other blogs, but never knew they were placecard holders. Live and learn! I have looked and hunted and searched but never have been lucky enough to find an old ledger book. Lucky you!
