Another Vintage Addiction

Another vintage addiction of mine happens to be vintage souvenir plates - preferably from travel destinations from the sixties or earlier. These tend to crop up at garage and rummage sales, so I'm holding out for some more this summer. My husband is generally indifferent to my thrifted finds, but even he finds these plates kind of charming.
Scenes from Prince Edward Island and Howe Caverns in New York. I'd never heard of Howe Caverns, but the plate really sells the place for me. Now I want to go.
