My hubby and I just had our 26th wedding anniversary and I got the best gift ever. Granted, I was pretty mercenary about how I got it. You see, I was out and about the weekend prior to our anniversary and I made an impulse stop at my favorite antique shop (which I blogged about here.) While there, I saw something that I REALLY WANTED but didn’t have cash on hand to buy it. It was also a bigger credit card purchase and the hubby and I agree not to buy expensive luxury items on credit unless we discuss it first.
How to get it? Gears turn in brain…. Ah Ha! My anniversary is coming up! I will get the hubby to get it for me! I pre-negotiated the price before I left and I said hubby would be in the coming week to get my gift…hopefully!
And judging by the title of this post, he came through!
Antique photo album!
Faded blue/green velvet with a brass corner piece.
I didn’t notice the grasshoppers until I got it home! Awesome! There are two but I think there was originally three of them.
Interesting and fully functional clasp.
The spine is still intact as well.
The pages have a floral motif.
And all the pages are full.
I will be carefully taking them all out, one by one, to see if there are any clues as to the identity of the family that originally owned it.
[…] want to investigate the photographs in my anniversary album and I will start with the first […]
