The books were so inexpensive and the more rugged and worn, the better!
I know you've seen one of these serving pieces before,
it's not old but I've always thought they were neat!

And this, an old stamp holder....

This is the largest, heaviest pair of scissors I've ever seen!
I found these journals last week at Books-a-Million
and loved that they are covered in creamy fabric....

Our lunch with our old classmate Ray and his wife Holly was so much fun!!!
It's still hard to believe that we hadn't seen each other in thirty years....
Ray creates pottery (as well as being a teacher for gifted students)
and he gave Dawn and I both some of his art pottery!!!!
I think it's beautiful ~

That 3 tiered server looks like one that Princess House had out just a couple of years ago. I had two of them at one time but was dumb enough to gift them to others without saving one for myself... Now I am sorry! Great treasures. Can't wait to see your platter! Happy Crafting! Karyn
Such wonderful treasures Dawn! I love the stamp holder and the old books and I can't wait to see you collage with the silver tray.
What fun it must have been to visit a classmate after all those years. I would love to habe that opportunity some day.
Congratulations to your son. Their wedding plans sound awesome and October is such a great time of year. I'm sure it will be wonderful!
Thanks so much for sharing the page ~ I have an idea for it already! You are so sweet to always give us such special little treats!
Hi Dawn,
Just a quick note to let you know how much I enjoy reading your blog. I have to touch base with you every night before I go to bed! And I can tell by your writing that you have a very sweet spirit. What a treasure you are.
Congratulations on your son's engagement! (I wish mine would do the same thing. I guess he should have a girlfriend first!!)

Hi Dawn, I love your finds! The scissors are awesome and this cream colored serving piece is very pretty! Your son's wedding plans sound wonderful. Congragtulations on his engagement!
Have a great day!

Dawn amor, I am so glad that you & Dawn had such a great time with your friends! That was so sweet of him to gift you all with his works :) I love all your finds!! The books are so great! I have been looking for a folding ruler like that :) That server is like the ones I told you I found with the biddys :) I have them put away somewhere lol I think it must be really hard finding treasures and then trying to decide what goes to your new lil space or what you get to keep...hmmm not sure I could handle that stress lol These images that you share here today and the ones from your earlier post are so pretty! Thank you for sharing them amor :) Besos, Rose
Looks like you had a really fun treasure hunt...great finds. I love the scanned picture...I'm always crazy about anything with bee skeps! I think now I'll have to finally connect my printer which I've been neglecting to do.
So great that you were able to connect with old friends, and congratulations on your son's engagement.
Blessings,
Susie
Love that stamp holder.
I have old stamps that would fit just right in it!
Love the old books, and thanks for the image.
I need to start doing more with them.
Just having time to get back into my art. A bit of a break form the horrors of inventory!
Congratulations on the upcoming wedding.

CONGRATS on the wedding! It sounds like your kind of party. On land with a barn, OMG...can't wait to see the pics from that. Autumn is my favorite time of year, so we chose October 6th for our big day.
Can't wait to see the silver tray after you do your majic. Lisa
