I don't do a lot of online shopping and around here I have a hard time finding antique, celluloide photo albums.
When I do find them, they are usually priced around $60 to $70.
Call me a tight-wad, but I have a hard time paying that much for something I'm going to tear apart.
The other day I got it into my head that I really, really wanted to use a photo album for my next journal.
And I'd already used the only one I had.
(Which I'm still having SO much fun playing in)
So when my brother called me the day before last to ask me to meet him for breakfast the next morning, I decided that afterward I would stop into an antique mall that I hadn't been into in awhile.
On the drive over I used my mighty brain waves and visualized a pretty, little photo album sitting in the store- in decent condition, just the right size and just the right price.
And low and behold, there it was sitting locked up in a cabinet waiting for me to find.
I sure love it when things work out!

I can't stand shopping at the mall or looking at boring retail stuff. Give me antique shops anyday!
You said you don't do much online shopping. I've found the most unique things on Ebay and Etsy.
Thanks for stopping by!

I found a cover for $10 this past week but didn't pick it up, even though I knew it was a great deal -- I just didn't love it enough... mainly because it had been recovered, as best as I could tell, anyway...
It is so BEAUTIFUL!!
