Finds

Some of my recent thrifting goodies:

A Dressmaking book from the 60s

dust jacket is falling apart 

but the rest of the book is in great condition

This cookbook:

My mother has this book and

it holds some of my earliest childhood cooking memories (:

Another cookbook:

I almost didn't pick it up

because I couldn't really see any of the cover decoration

{Yes I choose books by their cover}

But luckily I opened it and found this:

Recipes hand written in every available space.

The book was written in 1906.

I love it.

And I paid a dollar for it.

The Complete Book of Sewing, 1943

I have a thing for sewing books and cook books. Can you tell?

And I got an assortment of children's books

for the kids' school/craft room.

And this is our new pet.

Chloe found him at a thrift store

and would not leave him.

She totes him around

and feeds him

and has dropped him on her toe.

And she loves to say "SQUIRREL!"

like Doug in the movie Up.

All for only a quarter.

Tomorrow we will be heading out

to my favorite camping spot

where we will spend the weekend

eating smores

and playing cards

and exploring the wonderful nature around us.

And in one of our most favorite places

with our closest of friends

we will celebrate 10 years of

a most wonderful marriage.

See you next week!
