Bargain Saturday: Vintage Canadiana Artwork

No Cold Storage In Canada, $5USD, from Inktiques

I'm feeling patriotic this week, kicking off with yesterday's post about the Top 5 icons of Canadian design, so for today's Bargain Saturday inspiration, I did one of my favourite things: trolling for vintage Canadiana like travel ads, postcards, posters and maps. Over on Etsy.com, vintage postcards abound. Check out the early 20th century knee-slapper above, featuring a smiling frontier woman gathering eggs with the caption, "No cold storage in Canada" -- it has a postmark from February 1913. I'd gift this to a newlywed friend, wouldn't it be cute in a retro-style kitchen?

What do you hunt for online?

Thanks for the tip! I hunt for Cathrinholm retro/vintage kitchenware. Love etsy♥

 

If it is 'Canadiana', why is five dollars U.S. funds?   (Just kidding.)

It is cute and would well suit, the purpose of retro-style kitchen.  Thanks for the link.
