Vintage finds make me smile.
Getting good deals on them makes me pretty happy, too!
And these two finds featuring my home state are special ones for me.
A vintage, unused linen tea towel from KayDee Handprints with California landmarks including Disneyland!
You can see everything they included on the towel in the photo below.
I'm happy to say that I do believe I have visited every place or area depicted on this towel, and many of them are surely some of my favorite places:
After all, I was born and raised here, and I've had a LOT of years to visit locations all over our beautiful state!
The Golden Gate Bridge, Mt. Shasta, the Giant Redwoods, San Francisco, Lake Tahoe - and there's even a gold panner for the Gold Country Girls!
I also found a neat postcard booklet recently that was mailed from Los Angeles to Lodi in 1946:
"The Land Of Oranges" - we've got Santa Fe's Super Chief "traveling thru the orange groves" and Main Street in Riverside...
A palm tree and more orange groves:
It says here that the Los Angeles County Fair is the "Most Beautiful Fair In America".
I wouldn't know, because I haven't been to all of the fairs in America, in fact, I've only been to a handful, but the picture on the postcard sure is pretty!

Wonderful finds! We lived in a two acre orange grove just before you were born, I don't know if we could see the mountains, I wasn't interested in views at that age. Great post! Love T
I believe I've also been to every place shown on your tea towel. Even though I live in Oregon now, I will always be a Californian. I love the postcard booklet. I collect any of these of places I've been and this would be a good one. I spent most my life in Riverside Co. and remember the very wonderful fragrance of citrus trees in bloom. Haven't smelled that in decades. I especially like the picture with the palm tree, flowers and snow capped mountain. Thanks for bringing back memories!
