Antique books

 

Over the weekend we stopped in at our favorite antique store to chat with friends and catch up on all the current events. On the way out I spotted these two books sitting on the counter that the store owner recently acquired. Of course I couldn’t resist them….they are beautiful and for only $17 I had to have them. One of the books had a few issues….the spine was coming apart. So, I glued it back together and while waiting for it to dry I opened the book to read a few pages and found a price of $120 for set of 2 written in pencil on one of the pages. So, I think I got a good deal?

After gluing one of the books I set them on the floor until I had time to decide where I would display them. Funny thing is…..I sort of like them here! Not to mention it prevents two cute little dogs from walking between the sofa and table and wiping their faces on the sofa as they pass by!

Hope everyone had a great weekend? The weather was absolutely perfect here which doesn’t happen very often!
