[ quirky mementoes ]

EVERYTIME WE travel somewhere, I'm always on the lookout for quirky mementoes from little antique shops or flea markets that I can frame up in a shadow box to remember our trip. Not the typical souveniers you would expect, but unexpected items that become a conversation piece once displayed. These little antique potato bag tags are from a little antique shop near Summerside, Prince Edward Island during our summer vacation a few years ago. And these vintage milk bottle tabs are from a little chapel-turned antique shop we encountered on a weekend road trip through Prince Edward County, Ontario.

    Oh, what a clever idea! I especially like the old, vintage look with the clean modern framing!
