Cree found this for me for eighty cents. It was love at first sight. Can you even stand that cute ruler on the back cover? I most certainly will not be turning this book into a journal like my last thrift store purchases.
PS. Thank you for all your lovely comments on my head scarf! I actually learned how to tie from Angela Hardison. You can find her tutorial here. It's been a great style for this hot summer.
oh it's beautiful!
ReplyDeleteThat is perfection in the form of a book.
ReplyDeleteThat is a good find. Love the ruler on the back!
ReplyDeleteThis made me smile. There is a used bookstore not 20 minutes from home that I frequent often and this is one of the books I always gravitate toward! I've been spotting it each visit! I love specifically the color of the cover... it must have spent its life on a shelf somewhere so the front and back are a brilliant shade of turquoise!
ReplyDeleteIf only the copy I kept spotting was so inexpensive, I would have scooped it up some time ago!

The ruler?! That just tops this beauty off. Also that peek inside is lovely, so many bird silhouettes.
ReplyDeleteVery very cool.
ReplyDeleteThe ruler is genius
I'm pretty sure my grandma had that same exact book--she was quite the bird lover!
ReplyDeletebeautiful book. where is this brick wall you keep photographing in front of? don't you dare tell me it is in your house...i will be jealous.
ReplyDeleteDying over that ruler!
ReplyDeleteCUTE! i've never seen a book cover with a ruler like that! i have some vintage books in my closet that i keep meaning to re-bind--you've inspired me to get busy! :)
ReplyDeletethere are few things i love more than old books... and yes, that ruler is amazing!
ReplyDeletethanks for the shout-out :)
oh what a lovely old book. are you going to go bird watching now?
ReplyDeleteand way to go on giving credit to angela for her tutorial. that makes me like you a lot. :)
That is the cutest book ever! I love the ruler back, brilliant.
ReplyDeletei am also loving on the scarf in hair lately. there is a scarf vendor at EM that i saw one time and haven't seen since then and i've been dying for some new ones!
ReplyDeleteI found the same book at a thrift store here in Vegas. How funny! Mine's not in such good condition though.
ReplyDeleteps. I'm Rosie's sister--long time secret reader of your blog. It's beautiful
Seriously wonderful.
ReplyDeleteOh, this is lovely. In fact, everything here—in the space you've created— is rather lovely.
ReplyDeleteabsolutely green with envy
ReplyDeleteHappy to see these beautiful pictures of such a thing. I think there is a real soul of a bird in that book, so gentle, fragile, light. Be careful that it does not fly away (:
ReplyDeleteHappy Midsummer greetings from far north Scandinavia.
what a find! love, love the ruler on the back.
ReplyDeleteAwesome. I very like the ruler on the back. I wonder why they did it on a bird book. To measure the wingspan? Mh.
ReplyDelete@Roxanne--Yes! It is my house. Can you believe it? Brick is everywhere in this city. I'm going to miss it for sure.
ReplyDelete@Rachel--I'm so glad you said hi! I feel like I know you so much already through rosie. I'm always amazed at how much you are alike!
@well, hello--thank you and welcome!
@rubi--I most certainly should go bird watching. I wonder where the best places are...
