I came across this fantastic scrapbook yesterday while on my way home from errands in town, (ok, technically, while procrastinating all the things I should have been doing.) I popped into an antique shop and grabbed this up for 10 bucks! Not full of too much to share (although a few letters inside are dated in the late 1800s), but the cover alone was worth a post, don’t you think? Although, I myself am not a scrapbooker, I adore many peeps that are, so here’s little love for my scrapbook friends.

Last week we had a community quilting day for victims in Haiti, we must have turned out twenty quilts or so. It was great and I know people don't think they need quilts down there, but they need something to lay on too. Hey come visit my creative blog, and check out my sweet little vintage giveaway.
It's always fun to hear when friends take time to stop and have a little fun...
Love all the photographs you share...
How beautiful!
What a lovely find!!
thanks for sharing your fantastic find
Oh, Cathe, would you please at least post the dates and names on the letters? I'm a genealogy/family history buff, and those letters could be really precious to someone, who would really love a scanned copy. The internet allows us to share information like never before, and this could really make someone's day. :o)
What a fun thing to find!
Annalea, YES! I will definitely be sharing those letters soon, scanned or photographed. They are beautiful, so stay tuned!! ...And thanks so much for asking.
I'm not a scrapbooker either! I do love that.
HI, Cathe, so nice to meet you at Blissdom thru Kate. It was such a fun conference and I had a blast. What a pretty blog you have!
Great find...Don't you just love the penmanship of that time.
It's such a mishmash of book decor styles. I'm a bookbinder and LOVE this. Thanks for sharing Cathe :)
just discovered your blog from the vintage moth... awesome stuff in here! and you are so generous; thank you so much for all that you share! have a wonderful day! :)
