ViNtaGe GIRL SCOUT Collectibles...

 

Inspired by a 4-Page Spread on
ViNtaGe GIRL SCOUT COLLECTIBLES,
in the New March *2017* Country Living Magazine,
I thought it would be fun to "round-up"
some of the ViNtaGe Girl Scout Finds I've Kept & Sold
over the years...

 Still in my posession, I LoVe this little Girl Scout Pin/Brooch!!!
"My Guess" is that it was attained  after a long hike... 
1950's...



 On Occasion ~ It's a perfect go-with
adorning a pocket on one of my Jean Jackets!*!*!



 Although this Girl Scout Badge Sash is long gone,
I think it would look FaB Re-Purposed,
adorning a pillow!*!*!
JUST LoVe that it says C*H*I*C*A*G*O...

**~NO PLASTIC water bottles back then~**
