A Fabulous Find......


The girls and I have been waiting months for the local annual doll show. Saturday morning we woke up excited and ready to go. It was held in a new location this year and we just about walked our legs off! In the end I did not find any dolls I could not live without...but I did find this awesome book!!! I could not find a copyright on it....but the information inside is wonderful....especially for $5.

Imagine my surprise when I did a search on-line today and found this image of the front cover....copyright 1902!!!! Wow!!!!

I know I've been a bit quiet this past week. I've mostly been working on school curriculum/lesson plans for this fall.....plus we've had a few strange things pop up this week. Hopefully I'll be back to my normal stitching self soon!!! Although some of that stitching might have to take place while I'm sitting outside in the sun because I was also informed this week that my vitamin D level is WAY too low!!!! Back soon with a recently finished knitting project.
