Little velvet books

Here is a  picture of a couple little velvet books that I love they are both old autograph books. Also on the cover of Garnett Hill catalog once they had blue velvet boxes, ring boxes, and boxes the size of cigar boxes  and I went wild for them. I started looking for blue velvet boxes and haven't found a one so far.

 

The red one is dated 1889 on the inside cover where someone wrote in language I can't read. The green one is  dated 1906-1909.

Just beautiful I think.

Such pretty writing, don't you think?

                                                                                   

                                                                                  
                                                                                 

This little book is a check book dated 1885 it just think the paper cover is beautiful, there is a name for this old paper pattern but I don't know it. Maybe ripples of rain on cracked glass.

                      

 Isn't the blue just so pretty? My favorite color can you tell?

I just grabbed a hand full of little books out of a drawer I had them in. This is some more .

  When I was a kid playing in my Grandparents old barn I always wanted pretty little books like these. I always had an imagination about being a young girl in beautiful old full dresses like going to a ball to meet prince charming. Well I met what I though was prince charming once but that didn't last long, since I had to share him , not enough prince charmings in the world today. Sorry my mind drifted off into that thought.

                                                                             

   

                                                                                                                                                            

     OK here is a fun book I have a complete series of these book but didn't find them in the same drawer so can only show this odd book. I love Miss Beatrice   Potters also the  movie than was on once about her life as a child and growing up, and she met her prince charming.

                                                                                              
                                                                                             
                                         

                       

                                                                                                                              

                                                                                 
                                                                                        

                     
Now if you don't like little books this wasn't much fun for you so I will try and find a few different pictures.

          Us go to my bathroom!!!!!!! This is my little bird bath fountain in my bathroom I had to add some pearls on the girls.
                                        

                                                                                          
 Also my night  light that I bought because it was fancy and from shabby chic lady's group Miss Rachel Ashwell.


                                                                         

The cord from the bird bath doesn't look very attractive but you all know it has to be plugged in to work.


 Here is an old picture hanging in my bathroom that I had before the toile movement came in . An old friend gave it to me years ago.

                                                                                             



                                              
There is an altered art necklace hanging on the fame. It is one I made that I really like.

Might as well look in the bedroom and see my pretty Country life Toile by Waverly

   

I had to set a little silver on the bed to make it look fancy Ya all

                                        

                                                                             
                                                                            
                             
A Pillow with what looks like Sissy on it.

                                                                                                                                           
                                                                  

                                                                                    
        And now really sad news!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! For me and the ladies who own  this store



               

             


 I just feel so sad about this. since it was my all time favorite store here in my town. 

This is where I  buy my Wendy Addison paper stuff that I really like.

All the ladies of course was always so nice and they had the most gorgeous things ,antique and new. After the unvailing  of the paper signs in the window I will take some more pictures when I go in for the sale. If I don't get carried away and forget.
