1912 Vintage Cook Book~

While looking in the attic this morning..(trying to find and old wallpaper book) more on that story later smile~~Well anyway I found a box of vintage books LaMarr's granny had stored for years~
The book is frayed with age, "Desserts~ well this looks interesting,,sat down in the dusty attic floor..and opened this treasure..inscribed in the delicate old script many people had back then..Mrs. Charles Mayor Billeville Ill.
When I find something old. I always wonder about the person that owned the item..how many hands held this book and prepared desserts from inside the pages.
1912 100 years old...I can imagine the history this old book could tell us~ Maid of Honor
recipe for sponge cake,, reads "Let it sit by the side of the fire..Lordy, a woman had it hard back then. carrying water from the well. old wood cook stoves.. What would we do today, "IF" our life was turned back in time~~Could we adjust to the hardships~I can say for myself.. "I would not even want to try~~~I found the wallpaper book..But my heart skips a beat when I find "History~~ Love old things with all my heart~~smile~

Treasures in A Thrift Store~

While on a visit to my mothers, I stopped off at a few "Thrift Stores" one was just a "junk" store, not a place I would visit twice, while sitting at a red light my iphone pinged, hit the check in button, and all the stores along the road popped up, scrolled down and a "A lot Of Treasures Thrift Store" was on the menu,
I thought "Why not check it out"..traffic was a nightmare, I had to drive several blocks just to get a turn lane, then I had to hunt the store, it was in a little strip mall hidden in between a dress shoppe and a dentist office,walking by the frontage outside I knew I was going to have a great time in this quaint shoppe, the shop was full of vintage treasures, unique stuff I love, sat down on a vintage settee, a basket sat on the floor with old black and white photos and this lovely vintage brush and mirror set.
I really liked the set, the old gold tarnished, price was $8.00 very good price, I knew this was a "keeper".
As I walked through the store I noticed she had it set up like a old farm house,. Little nooks and crannies of eye candy for the soul. When shopping a new store I will walk through to "Glance:. after the 1st. walk through, if by chance anything interests me. I then get serious. 1st. walk through I did not even see this "Print" Old vintage frame, matted in vintage hues,and the little girls eyes were just beautiful,
My heart fluttered, I thought "I have to have this print". something about the print made me think of my daughters, and the $20.00 price sticker was great. I always go with my heart when I find a treasure along my journeys, and this was one of those times.
another find was a Paris framed print that I will add to my dressing room,
This carryall will go my daughter Ben.. I had found another pretty carryall in another shoppe I gave t my daughter Kristy. Mama Knows wink~
