Old and Tattered

I'm not sure why, but I like the look of tattered old papers and textiles.

I use these for my journal pages.

Some of this stuff is in pretty bad condition, but that's partly what I like about them.

Books and woven fabric pieces all tied up with twine.

Greeting cards and letters from the early 1900's  in an old wire basket.

Feels good to have some things sorted and organized. Maybe tomorrow will be a day for creating.

We'll see.

Have a nice day!

Back To School

Happy Labor Day Weekend Everyone!

This summer has gone by so quickly.

Hubby and I have been treasure hunting almost every weekend and it's time to share some photos of our fabulous finds.

I thought I'd start with a few old things that remind me of back to school.

Old school.

Antique books tied up with some twine.

This sweet photo of children dressed in their finest.

Colored pencils made of sticks.

An old wooden pencil box and a wooden apple too.

I will be traveling around New England this week and hope to have lots of photos to share when I get back.

Thanks for stopping by!

Have a nice week all!

Karen



In Love With Old Books

I've always loved collecting old books and thought I might share with you a few of my latest finds. The one with the pretty lady on the front was a freebie from my local thrift shop. I was in there browsing and they announced that each customer was welcome to three free books. How nice was that? The children's book called "Ameliar-Anne and the Green Umbrella" was a flea market find from this past summer. It has the most lovely illustrations. The tiny "French Self Taught" was a free gift from an Etsy purchase I made of an old wooden bowl. Don't you just love old books?
