...especially old books!
And what's better than a Nests, Eggs
and Nestlings identification book?
I was so thrilled to find this book and it was perfect timing!
I was gathering up all the old plastic bags that I could find
and pulled this box down in the garage!
Looks like a sparrow had built a nest in this cushy spot!
Here are a few more pics from the bird book.
I love the beautiful illustrations
and there were several notes inside of sightings
which makes it even more precious!
I also wondered if anyone knows what these are?
I guess they are place mats but they have cork on the back and are quite sturdy.
I bought 4 of them at Goodwill and
they have Pimpernel, Made in England on the back.
I'm not sure how I will use them yet but I think they are beautiful!
Enjoy your day!

I too love old books. The trouble is that I now have more books than I have room for...
Have a great weekend

Hi Diane!
Those "pictures" (I'm sorry, no idea of what they are..) are really beautiful!
Have a lovely weekend!
Looki the lovely illustrations! Wowie! Whatever you do with them will be brilliant i know! And, i am always so excited when i buy a book with something from the original owner in it..gives the book a sense of history beyond the words on the pages, dont you think?
Have fun!

Nice finds...especially love the last four prints as their color is wonderful.
I love your bird book! It's funny, today I was downtown waiting for my husband to finish some errands so we could meet for lunch and I went into the antique mall on Main Street. Upstairs in the front of the mall is a room with vintage books. I was looking through the bird books, trying to find a couple I liked. I wish the one you had was there!
Hugs,

What a great book to find! I love all the egg pictures. I'm not sure what the others are.

I found similar place mats and they were in the original box. They are beautiful. Love your moving cards. They are just too cute. Hope your move goes well.

They are lovely!
Have a happy move and let me know when you are hooked back up and blogging again.
