Oh Ladies Look What I Found Today

Today was a most astounding day

Tonight I sit here on my couch feeling

kind of like an estate sale glutton tee hee

I had to run my son Jordan around

a little today.  Friday is mowing day

at his grandparents across town

so I knew that somehow a couple of garage

sales would sneak their way

into our schedule.

Do you ever get that feeling that

something really special is waiting for you at

a sale?

It was one of those days.

I thought I had hit the jackpot when in a free box

there was a beautiful antique lacquer jewelry box.

A tiny Made In Occupied Japan vase

and a Russian stacking doll.

But later in the day..Jordan went to

stay with his best buddy and we passed another

estate sale.

Growl...he said DON'T STOP

Take me first....Well OK.  I did and sat and

chatted with Shannon for a bit

about our upcoming camping trip for my

birthday weekend.

Not really watching the time

I headed home...And the sale was still open

So I stopped

Look what I found

Published in 1891

By Addie E Heron

Elaborately Illustrated

That is an understatement.   This wonderful book is full

of illustrations and patterns and instructions.

Oh boy we are going to have fun with this one

I have left the plastic cover on it for now

It is in really good shape.

Now...This book was a find...but that was not all

35 Floral plates

Engravings of the great composers

Vintage paper doily's

Victorian scrap

A beautiful little Chippendale dresser (about 12 inches tall)

Art deco buttons

Vintage glitter

Are you swooning with me?

Here is a loose page I found tucked

into the paper doily's

Tomorrow I will take some pictures

to share with you.

But tonight I was just so excited I could not wait.
