Welcome back ...
I'm joining the party at Vintage Junky tonight. Be sure to visit our host (loving the cloche!!!!), and all the other partiers! I think this is gonna be fun one!
I don't have many things with letters or numbers, even though I'm quite aware of the craze. I actually just passed up a vintage set of letter stamps at the antique mall I went to yesterday. I really wanted to participate in the party and I remembered the perfect thing to add ...
This is a journal full of articles, quotes, and scriptures that belonged to my Great-Grandmother, Elsie. It doesn't get much more vintage than this.
I fall more in love with her handwriting every time I turn a page.
How about the quote on happiness?

And the quote about home ... I'm planning to make a frame with these sweet words from Longfellow.
"Stay, stay at home my heart and rest; Home keeping hearts are happiest."

And another shot for you to enjoy ...
These letters are always close to my vintage-loving heart.
Oh my goodness.....what a treasure! It would be hard for me to take some pages out to frame, but I bet it will be so special.

What a treasure. Consider not taking pages out to frame, but rather copying. This way one day your great granddaughter will be holding the journal, reading it, feeling inspired.
