My post today is on my vintage thrifty finds,
and a bit of other treasures.

For those of you who are used to seeing my $1.00 boxes of goodies,
this will come as quite a shock!
I actually paid $5.00 for this little pile of treasures.

included were:
a small purse for girls dress up
a pile of sewing 'stuff'
tatted and crocheted pieces,
3 hankies
a 'witch' (have not figured out what that is yet.)
3 old books, I mean very old!!
(More about that in a bit)
And two old, very old, staplers.
(those and old books my fave parts.) =0))

This is one of the old books.
It is a lovely old hymnal.

There is no date in it.
Look at the beautiful way they have done the pages.
How just an edging instead of straight lines adds to it's beauty.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
And see that little brown leather book in the top photo?
It is "In Memoriam".
A collection of poems by Tennyson
dated 1849
It is in most wonderful condition.
Both books seem to have almost not been used at all.

This is inside the front cover.

and the
next page...

and the poems.

There are 136 pages of beautiful rhyme in this book.

I'm looking both of these up on
the Internet to see if i can find their value.

(FYI- I found the Tennyson Book online.)
Value- listed at $58.00!!!!!!
I'm smilin' =0))))))


OK, here is an old 'what is it"
Give me some feedback on this and I'll see if what i think is right.
FYI should have told you it has holes in bottom.
Good guesses, but no 'winners' yet. =0))


Last, but not least,
A BIG old cart.
This thing is H E A V Y!!

OK. That's it for today.
Hope you are all having a wonderful week!!

Blessings,
