A step into the past always leaves me wondering.
I wonder who "was" Ester?
How did her life turn out.
I can just see the blue velvet autograph book new, so soft and full of memories of friends.
The well wishes written appear to be from collage classmates, all dated in 1891.
Like an intimate class year book.
The pages are delicate, stained, and some falling out. A child scribbled in pencil on some.
Many of them wrote poems.
Estate Sale,,,it was so good,,,I was soooo good,,I could have gone crazy,,
I did manage to pick out some sheet music just for the covers.
Maybe you can use these in your art.
Now, this fit in the scanner, most are too wide.
I wonder if they made their own ribbon to go in the blank spot.
Let me know if you desire more, I will be happy to share.
Tomorrow is 1/2 off day at the sale....yikes!
Another Perfect Day????????????
Another Perfect Day????????????

I love your finds on the friends of Ester,and the idea of wondering what Esters life was like, I'm the same way, if you check my blog you will see I have some wonderful items for viewing pleasure that were my Moms and I'm so blessed to have them, I'll have some items of my Grandmas also I'll eventually post. Sandra Wood is going to include the items in my new blog banner. I'm pretty new at this blogging but find it a wonderful way to keep involved with others now that I'm retired. Thanks for sharing and Blessings to you!
Wow, you found some beautiful things! I know how hard it must be--I also tend to go overboard at estate and thrift events!
What beautiful "finds"! I think I know where you're heading tomorrow!!! Something tells me that you're going to have a grrr-eat weekend!!! Hugs, Terri xoxo
Really great finds. I LOVE an estate sale and can definitely go overboard. I adore the autograph book!

Hi sweet Marcie,
I love the beautiful 'A Perfect Day' and the wonderful autograph book! Oh, those old worn pages are so charming! I love the handwriting too! The sheet music is beautiful. Thank you for sharing the lovely images! I am going to purchase a new printer soon, so I can print things out in color. I hope you have a lot of fun at the estate sale again today, and find more pretties! Love, Paula
How lovely!
What treasures! People would love that "...world go by cover" framed. So enchanting!
Marcie, I have a request for you in your Official Naturalist capacity....
Want to trade antique French paper emphemera Corey Amaro sent me from her broconte shop for a piece of EMPTY abandoned bee or wasp hive for the set?!!!!
(Should you and your gentleman ever see any on your walks!)
So beautiful Marcie, thank you for sharing the sheet music, love the one with the woman in the Victorian hat best!

I just love to find old albums, books and cards with writing and names. I always wonder who that person was, what they were like...and try to envision what life they had from just those tiny little clues!
What a great find!
