Amazing Friday Garage Sale Discoveries

Wow...It has been such a beautiful day today.

The plan was to work on the Junkin Gypsies note cards for the store.

Then take my son to my folks

so he can mow their lawns (his summer job)

So...As Jordan slept in (cause I am a softy mom and there was no

school today) I had coffee and worked on the

cards.  Getting them assembled so that

Jill can take pictures.

I just snapped a few so that I could show them off here.

Tomorrow they will be in the Junkin Gypsies Etsy store...

They are all Jill's original artwork

I really love her art and these cards are like little paintings.

So while Jordan was mowing the lawns

my dad suggested some garage sales around the

neighborhood I might be interested in. 

Oh Yep Yep

Now don't I keep saying.  No More Books!?

Ack...It is my addiction

Books.

today I found something so fantastic for a moment

I could not believe it was for sale.

A  log book

for Columbia Harbor No. 22

Leather bound...12 inches x 20 inches

With the name Alice Mae Endicott on the front

The first 38 pages have been removed..And the rest of the log 398

pages are empty.

There is some writing in the back for a wedding

It is too big to scan..so tomorrow in the sunlight I will take pictures of it.

It amazed me that I got it for a buck.

A young man moving and selling everything...many of his books

looked like family books. Another one I got there was

from 1905...Engineering Drawing.  I scanned a couple of pages to share

And last

A book on Aubrey Beardsley

This was a fantastic find...I have always liked Beardsley's work

but have never explored him.

This book is too large to scan properly..so this image

is a bit crooked. 

So...Yes..more books.
