Yard Sale Finds

I am addicted to Yard Sales

Man Without A Country

Edward E. Hale

This book was my favorite yard sale find. It was only .50$! What a steal for an antique book!

This book was given to Charles Good on Sept. 5 1902, exactly 83 years before I was born.

The latest copyright on this book is 1897, almost as old as dinosaurs! haha

I don't know much about books and all the dates printed on the page...

Do you know what all those dates and prints are for?

I've been researching this book to find its worth, it's proving to be a very difficult task.

The prices seem to range from $2.00-$15,000.00! It depends on the year of publication, the cover, and of course the shape the book is in.

But I can't find this particular one. I can't find this book that was published in 1897 with the same cover. In fact the book that was worth $15,000.00 was published up to 10 years after this one.
Could that mean this book is rare or worth more? Or have I just not found it...

This has been a popular read, it's latest publication was 2002 (I believe), there have even been movies made from this book.


Even if it's worth nothing, I'm happy to have it.

I'm absolutely in love with the cover of this book... All the gold, the lady in red, the frame.

It's beautiful.

And it looks spectacular on my shelf, see?

Look what else I got!

The bottle and bear are vintage :)

The aluminum bear is a candy mold, from at least the 70's. I don't plan on using this little guy, he'll sit up on my shelf with the antique book.

Can you guess what I'll be using my new tiny yellow vintage vase for?

Dandelions I'm sure! They just go together, don't you think?

And my piggy butter spreaders, I was told they were vintage, but I don't really know.

I don't care either way. They're just so cute!

Do you love yard sales too?

What kind of things to you look for?

I haven't received the colon cleanse yet, but I promise to post it as soon as it arrives.
