Vintage Karma, or, What Goes Around Comes Around

Back in February, I had a month of giveaways, one of which included a terrific little baking booklet entitled "Learn to Bake" - here are photos from the giveaway...




At the time, I seriously debated whether to include "Learn to Bake" because the booklet was a favorite of mine. But, I finally decided that this particular vintage goodness should be shared. So into the giveaway it went...


Fast forward to June... Imagine my surprise when I found a copy of the same booklet at a local antique shop for $1.00!


Here's my favorite picture in the book - it's me, Miss CherryBubbles, baking biscuits in a past life ;)



While this alone is enough to make me believe in vintage karma, it isn't the only time I've given away something I was very fond of, only to have another one turn up to replace it. But, I think I'll save my other vintage karma story for another post.

How about you - do you have a similar vintage karma story?

As for vintage karma... I haven't been having much of it lately, but here's hoping that'll change!! ;)

I'm with you, I believe in vintage karma to! That's why when I out grow something, I send it off to a new life...plus a little extra cash is never bad either!

I do A LOT of trading at my local vintage clothing store. So, I guess that is a bit like vintage karma. It was so strange though, the last time I was shopping there I found an exact replica of a dress I had in my closet, and I believe they are the same size too. I thought for a second I had traded that one in, but when I got home I checked my closet and it was still there. That was first and up to this point, only time I have seen the exact same vintage dress floating around.

I'm not sure whether I've had much vintage karma, I hope I have!
