I was at the Goodwill Surplus store yesterday when I found two old books in a plastic bag. I paid $1 for the bag, and was delighted when I got home and discovered what was inside ...
One book was an old family Bible - it's brittle leather cover flaking away in chunks - with hand written birth registries from 1874 to 1910 in the back ... and all kinds of treasures tucked between the pages ... from pressed flowers to church documents and old photographs.
The second book had no cover and was an old dictionary with even more treasures inside
The dictionary itself fascinated me because there are notes, additions, and corrections hand written on nearly every page. The previous owner was a true lover of words.
One of the treasures tucked away inside the dictionary was this old postcard - complete with notes about words and definitions ...
There were many other treasures to be found and eventually shared ... some of which I will be sharing on
"Random Finds".
