Where to buy....

I've been looking at antique keys to use for the place cards ( the key will have a string or ribbon attached with a piece of paper with the name and table). I cant really find anywhere that has a cheap price... if anyone knows anywhere i can look into, please let me know ! Thnx

The phrase you want to search for is "skeleton keys".  You might have some luck on the Trash to Treasure boards-- occasionally I have seen them pop up there.  Ebay might also be a place to look as well.  Maybe Etsy??

After some quick googling, I came up with these links:

http://www.kennedyhardware.com/skeleton-keys/

http://www.weddingstar.com/product/antique-style-key-bottle-opener-in-gift-packaging

I kinda dig the second one--  if it is indeed a bottle opener, it could double as a place card and usable favor.  I would totally hang on to a skeleton key bottle opener.

HTH!

Thanks ! I'll have to show my fiance and see what he thinks of them (not that it matters)
