My 'finds'


In our local market, a new junk stall has opened and my day was made when I managed to find this great 1950's book....Dryad Handicraft Instruction Leaflets.

Full of every craft imaginable, so lots of inspiration!!!!!Love these patterns.




And here,
a beautiful Bank Ledger from 1900 ~ I'm hoping to 'do' something with this!


























Lovely script writing.
















And the find of the day..............Vintage Photograph.
The seller and I did have a bit of a titter about the..... errmmm..... Gentleman ???
Either a Gentleman Actor, or a very 'plain', shall we say....Lady.

Either way, every time I look at this it makes me smile. ;-)

I am so envious of that first book! It looks familiar nin style to something I must remember from my childhood.
