My vacation/stay-cation ends tonight. Boo. A few more hours and then it's back to work. Yuk. I have had a very nice time these past two weeks. I have camped, canoed, eaten s'mores, and swam. I've gotten tan and a few bug bites. I've also gotten to hang out with my family and I've loved that! I also got to sneak into a few of my favorite flea markets and junk shops. That's where I found the Singer Sewing Machine Book.
This book was copyrighted in 1954, but I believe it was given as a gift to "Eleanor" in 1957 because of the inscription:
I just love finding old handwritten notes. It's so personal, isn't it? Besides this awesome book, I also came across some pretty cool purses:
And look at these shoes!
While this vacation is almost over, I have another week scheduled the week after Father's Day. So, I guess I shouldn't complain too much!
Tootles!

I am glad you had such a good vacation!!!! That is awesome! Very interesting purses and the shoes, they are rather small. maybe women were smaller then, I don't know. It is possible. Have a good week at work and then enjoy your other week off!
uauu

I love that floral purse, although i'd call it a vanity case!

Hi Angela, that sewing book is cool and I love purses and as Em said "vanity cases" we also call them that here. Nice finds!!
That floral purse reminded me of an old jewelry box! About the feet...mine are pretty darn small...so I don't know about that. Have a great day!!
Feet were smaller. Doorways were shorter. You're not imagining this :)
