No explanation

Sometimes there is no explanation...sometimes things just remain a mystery of life...

On Saturday, I was feeling the garage sale/junking itch...but I was holding strong...not scratching it...I have plenty of "raw materials" for art and project ideas...best to leave it alone...

So with a little extra time, I figured that I would tackle another area of the basement...you see, I'm only dealing with a small section at a time...if I tried to do it all, it would be too much...and then nothing would get done...

There was an unlabeled box in the pile...I opened it up and behold!  Yard Sale Treasures!  I have no memory of this haul...but it certainly had all the types of goodies I would pick up...

amber bottle, two english ironstone platters, a dictionary - a pronouncing dictionary to be exact (a dictionary that deals exclusively with the correct pronunciation of a word) and several vintage metal embroidery hoops...































another large dictionary with exquisite detailed drawings, an old metal frame embossed with delicate flowers,
a couple of vintage wood oval embroidery hoops...






































All the joy and thrill of the hunt without leaving home...it satisfied that junking itch quite nicely...but now my curiosity was piqued...I can't recall this adventure at all...

and it just proves that you never know what you might find...even in your own house...

worth a look...
