Good Finds!
Wow! I had a great day yesterday!
Lunch with a lovely friend and a trip round a few charity shops.
Can somebody tell me - are UK charity shops the same as US thrift stores?
Anyway - here's my haul …………………….
some sheet music and a book of music - wonderful cover
three volumes of an illustrated encyclopaedia, made in the USA
wonderful illustrations inside
and last, but not least the "Illustrated Family Doctor" which contains some very gruesome photographs and diagrams. I think this book was probably published sometime in the 1930s.
Don't think I be looking for advice from this! |

remember gymslips? |
My task now is to:-
v scan some of the pics which I can then use in some creative way (hopefully)
v trawl through blogland and find an interesting way of displaying these finds to their best advantage - looking forward to this one!
Oh by the way, lang may yir lum reek means (literally), long may your chimney smoke - in other words, may you always have plenty of coal for your fire (or something like that)!
Love, Liz
