Yard Sale Mall Shopping

Sometimes you find treasures that you just feel you have to share.  Here are my latest "thrill" finds.  I have been watching for a sewing machine I could use just for crafts/paper sewing.  When I saw this vintage machine I fell in love with it, after all it is GREEN!  It is a 1952 model and still has it's manuel with it.  The carrying case unfolds to make the sewing table or you can use the free arm without the table.  It has a funky knee device which gives me fits... see how it connects to the machine on the lower right side... kinda hangs over the edge of the table... which also is a YSM find.  Well, It is just cute...



And the lady just gave me a big box of old cards, letters, personal stuff.



 But I did find this huge old journal in the box, with just a few pages having handwritten historical writings by a couple of different people.






I am going to have so much fun with this gigantic journal!!  I will lightly gesso over the un known writings for interesting background layers.  I have been working on the small side of things lately so the big size will stretch my journaling skills.
