My Cup Of Tea: Newspaper from 1949

Newspaper from 1949

Cherish @ My Cup of Tea

Hello there fellow bloggers:

Once again, I apologize for my scarcity in blogging and my neglect of my blog. I am back. I have tons to post, so bare with me. I bought a vintage military trunk from Goodwill last week to use as my coffee table. I only paid $25, but the downside was that it was locked. My roommate finally got the lock popped yesterday and there were two bags of wood chips in there and a newspaper from 1949. I took some (rather lousy) photos.

This paper has me thoroughly shocked and interested. I will post a few excerpts for your shock and interest.

This paper is really cool. I will be finding the coolest pieces and framing them.
