"Very old"

This tag was on one of the necklaces I bought on my buying trip with Lauren of Dear Golden Vintage last week. I thought you would appreciate its vagueness, as I did. Can't you just picture a sweet lady carefully penning that label? In this case, "very old" means 1930s.

Kensington, MD

I went antiquing with my friend Mariana yesterday in Kensington, MD. There is a whole row of antique shops there, mostly stocking books, furniture and fancy breakables. But I did find a few accessories at a little lace and linen store at the end of the street, including a ridiculous pair of blue kid gloves with little leather butterflies, an adorable 1930s drawstring beaded coin-purse, and a perfect red embroidered hankie.
