My Antique Book Cover

As you all know we do a lot of traveling and camping with our 5th wheel.

When we reminisce on our travels we (me) usually forgets some of the details.


Cathe Holden, was nice enough to share a copy of this antique book here
Bought a cheap journal, printed out the book covers and label. I trimed it up a bit.

Modge Podge the new cover on the book.

I love the way it turn out. I brought it with us to our Florida trip. Jotted down times we stopped, where we stayed, what we did during the day, places we visted and people we met.


Of course labeled it too!

Vintage Thingy Thursday


This is my dancing bear. I know nothing about it! Don't know if it's European or American. Someone gave it to my mom, when she was down sizing I grab this guy. I remember it was high on shelf, so we wouldn't play with it. It has a wonderful fabric on it. No eyes. But the best part is I have the key to him. And he still winds up!

Where do I keep it? High on a shelf so know one can play with it. LOL

My $3 dollar find








Look at this fine! I went to this church sale, and there was nothing, realy nothing there. Just junk. But I still looked around, maybe something was hiding. Sure enough behind a newer suitcase, I spied this over night suitcase. $3 was on the tag. I opened it and was in ahww. It has all the parts!(except the keys) It's in great condition. I also love the color, a light lilac. I want to show it off, can't figure how. Right now it's sitting in my living room against a blank wall that needed something. Have any ideas?
