From time to time I find a room I swear wasn't there the last time I visited. My biggest treasure so far was a stack of kid's books from the Bailey School Kids series. I don't think they'd ever been read and the munchkin was overjoyed.Sofie Kellyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16830230500527705589noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8343238.post-1158162817846038282006-09-13T11:53:00.000-04:002006-09-13T11:53:00.000-04:00My weirdest find: a skinny book of East Tennessee ...My weirdest find: a skinny book of East Tennessee folklore. It's got lots of fun stuff, like folktales, superstitions ("If you walk under a grapevine backwards, you won't grow anymore"), creepy folk remedies (to cure a baby's hives, cut an X on the baby's back, mix the blood with breast milk, and feed it to the baby), riddles (Q: When is a car not a car? A: When it turns into a driveway), and "friendship verses" like the following:<BR/><BR/><I>At your funeral the preacher will say,<BR/>"Here lies the shell; the nut has passed away."</I><BR/><BR/>Or this one:<BR/><BR/><I>When you get married,<BR/>And live in a shack,<BR/>Chew tobacco and<BR/>Spit thru a crack.</I><BR/><BR/>This book fascinates me; I've had lots of fun with it.Zoehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17702478924392188540noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8343238.post-1158148696802102672006-09-13T07:58:00.000-04:002006-09-13T07:58:00.000-04:00I like buying old magazines from junk shops to loo...I like buying old magazines from junk shops to look at the ads and recipes. I think Jello was in its heydey in the seventies.<BR/><BR/>At a flea market I found a new book treasure on how to plan medieval celebrations. It has recipes, games, songs, a calendar and directions to make different types of medieval garments. It's not old but it's been priceless in helping me add some details that I hadn't thought about to my WIP. <BR/><BR/>Lynda H.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8343238.post-1158147834094221852006-09-13T07:43:00.000-04:002006-09-13T07:43:00.000-04:00Weird?No. Treasures.Found a complete Shakespeare w...Weird?<BR/>No. Treasures.<BR/>Found a complete Shakespeare when I was twelve for one dollar, circa 1840, unbowlderized.Bernitahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05264585685253812090noreply@blogger.com
