Weekend Yard Sale Finds

I did manage to get out to a few Yard Sales last weekend. Now this gentleman has had a yard sale about 2 months ago, and he loves to banter....well, don't ask me twice. So I asked him what the bargain of the day was. He told me this scrapbook, it wasn't the bargain, but once I started looking through it...I had to have it. This came from his parents house (that is being sold) I got a tour of the old house, I would love to have it. On to the scrapbook.













It was well loved and well used, but that's what gives it part of it's charm. Whoever this scrapbook belonged to, liked to save their greeting cards and include them in this scrapbook.

I tried to pry up just a corner of this picture, I believe it was cut out from a box of candy.

This beautiful picture is dimensional? embossed maybe? I'd love to hear the story behind this one. These little cuties aren't as old, but ohhh so adorable. I did pull up one of these and found out she had cut them from a calendar.I also loved this little fellow. I didn't have the courage to pull this one up find out what it is from.

He had a huge box of old linens, doilies, napkins and such, he told me I could have the whole box for 1.00.....BINGO!! These napkins were in there, but shamefully there were only 3 of them.

Mar, that is a really a cool scrapbook. Wish I could get to some yard sales, but have no way to go as Brenda works every day. Love the napkins.

Hi Mary,
I just found your blog through my friend Kim;s blog. I noticed your ribbon supporting you sister with lung cancer. I'm wondering if you could tell me where I might find one? My mom was diagnosed with Stage 4 NSC lung cancer about 4 months ago.
How is your sister doing, if you don't mind me asking?
