Treasure Hunting

... or "more junk" as my husband calls it. We ended up in Dallas last week and I didn't want to waste the trip. I found a couple of estate sales to shop while we were in the area. Here are some of my treasures.

Old advertising envelopes (available in my etsy shop), sparkly Christmas picks, doilies, and old travel postcards.

An old cigar box full of thread.

I didn't find the book, but this cover came home with me. It will be great for a Christmas altered hanging. There were several rolls of the vintage Halloween crepe paper, so I bought a couple.

A pile of old pillowcases. The eyelet fabric is actually an old dress, tattered and torn from years of use and storage.

My favorite find was this HUGE old ledger from 1903.

It has 161 of the 1,000 pages used. They aren't "filled" but they contain unique entries like "will pay when Mr. Williams pays him for the tomatoes"!

The entries include the person's name and their occupation, like blacksmith, dress maker, laborer.

I will have blank and "with writing" pages listed on etsy.
