Have to share a few of my Favorite Finds, over the last few days.

As I was toolin' through Country Fair, I spotted a worn velvet....Photo Album.

or, what I Thought....was a Photo Album.

<3

I, absolutely Love....'Worn Velvet'.

'ANYTHING!!!'

<3 

{and...Rusty, Old....Trucks. <3 }

I, saw the price tag....on the Photo Album, and....nearly, put it back.

{I, have...a few. I, was Hunting Bottle Brush Trees, and Vintage Christmas.}

Then, I decided....to look at the images, inside.

: )

To my Surprise....

It, wasn't a Photo Album, at all.

It...was a 'Box', that held...a Book.

Oh.....my.

Hahahaha.

It was 28.00, less 20% off.

Priceless....to me. <3 

{and, I Nearly...decided 'No', because....I didn't 'need' another 'Photo Album'. }
