Pre-Loved Podcast: Flea Market Love Letters
Okay, let's talk about today's guest! Today I'm speaking with Elizabeth Maguire, who is the collector of found vintage letters, postcards, and photos, sourced from flea markets! She's on a mission to preserve the found stories of the past by archiving and transcribing all the letters in her collection.
There is something very cozy about this episode. I even asked Elizabeth to pick a few of her letters that mention fashion, and we read from those stories talk through what was happening in the letter writers' lives at the time. I think you're gonna love this one!
Thanks for listening, let's dive right in!
