I collect old books
There....I said it..I am a book addict.
(But you all know that don't you...lol)
One of my favorite genre of books to collect
are the old readers that were used in
school. This one is an Ellison Reader
They have such beautiful illustrations
and the sweetest stories.
This Ellison Fourth Reader has birds
on the front and back book pages
and is full of fairy and nature stories
I hope you enjoy these two pages today
They are pretty large
The original book is 5x7

Antique TinType Photograph Anderson Family Boy Dressed As A Girl Name Unknown
Here is one of the
amazing photo's in the
albums I just picked up
I think this is a boy
dressed in girls clothes
This was done often
My own family had
pictures of my dad
dressed this way
I have no idea why
it was done
(a good excuse to learn
some history)
So I am off to
find out why.
I did nothing to
this image to clean it up.
I left it as it was taken
I believe him to be
in the Anderson family
since this was loose in
the larger album.

Wow we sure have had a patch
of rain and snow and rain again
this last two weeks here in Oregon
It gave me a bad case of cabin fever
and the blues at the same time.
So when errand day came around
this last week I was like a horse let out
of the barn..
Off at a full gallop...
I had several bags of things to donate
(see how I slip a visit into Saint Vinnie's in
there?) And a visit inside was a must.
Right inside the door are the cases
of neat vintage books, craft supplies
and anything else they think
may catch the collectors eye.
Right away the two antique photo
albums they had caught my attention.
I asked to look at the case and was delighted to
find that they both still had their photo's
The price was pretty steep...but my heart said
Do It!!
So I did...
I brought the first album home on Tuesday
full of cabinet cards and history. I was in awe.
Over night I was restless.. It felt wrong not to
have the two albums together. They are family
after all...I rolled it around in my head all night.
Yes..No...Yes...No... Yes won
The next day (yesterday) I did my chores
waited..And when I could not stand it anymore
I went to see if the second album was still there.
Guess what, It was.
I am going to scan many of them and post them
here on my blog to share with you all.
They are beautiful and fascinating.
I wish I knew this family's history, their story
Maybe as I scan the photo's some
will be revealed.
Have a wonderful Thursday!!
If you are on the East coast.. Stay safe!!

Leaping Frog Designs Is Back And I Have A Free Pink Lace Background Sheet For You
Hello Everyone!!
It has been so long since I have been
on my blog, I was afraid it had run away.
At last though here I am...
Last July (yes the one in 2013)
My poor little work horse of a computer
finally gave up the ghost.
She was a good old girl and I broke my
heart to have her give her all for me to
the end.
It also really depressed me.
What on earth was I going to do?
Lucky for me my hubby had another older
computer he booted up for me
(have I mentioned ever that my husband is a
computer geek kind of?..well he is)
So, for the last 5 months or so I have been
on an extremely basic old computer that
was not able to do any photo editing or any thing fancy
at all. (How spoiled I have become)
This last month I decided I had had enough
got brave and bought my own computer.
Oh boooy am I in love all over again.
Last night I loaded up my new Photoshop
and went to work.
It felt soooo good to get back to it.
Here is the first image I worked on Last night
It is the front page from a beautiful book
printed in 1897 called From Manger To Throne
I actually bought the book for the beautiful etchings
and printers ornaments it has.
I hope you enjoy it...
Have a wonderful weekend!!
