-one little spice-ish looking jar
-"all about birds"

-a HILARIOUS book on housekeeping (published in 1947)....boy am I feeling behind in my housekeeping skills. or lack there of. I will be sharing a few pages out of this one soon!

Ooo! Nice finds. I swear, thrifting in your neck of the woods is a million times better than in mine. :(

I can't wait to see some of that housekeeping book! I love that stuff. I've collected a few etiquette and manners books from late 1800s - early 1900s and they are THE BEST.

... maybe you don't want want to paint the chair.. it looks to be in good shape.. maybe just a clear polyurethane.(sp).. it might be an antique..

You are so fortunate to have found those books! I keep telling my husband that I wish we had kids so that I can actually justify buying all of the vintage children's books and toys that I'm forever eyeing.
