Well my family and I returned home from camping on Saturday.
We had a good time with family and just getting away from the normal routine.
Since we returned back to Portland around 2:30pm we were able to go to the tail end of a few sales.
This old metal box was one of my finds.

I'll try and release it from my fingers for the Fall Show.
I just love these old boxes.
I think the old aged tags that still remain are pretty sweet!

Another thing....books!
I think I have a fettish for books.
I'm not a book connoisseur but if they have the "right look" and they are old, I'll buy them!

That was the case this week-end.
I walked in the door and spotted these books right away!

A nice light grey cover.
There's about 27 of them.
circa 1920.

And look at those edges, I love edges like that!
The next few books I bought a couple of different places.
They are very tiny old books!
The smallest measuring 3".
All in browns and blacks.

Even though I wasn't able to hit the trail on Friday and early Saturday.
I did manage to pick up a few things and get my estate shopping fix!
Hope you did well in your shopping ventures!
