Thrift Share

It has been an extremely busy week preparing for Thanksgiving, and wee morning shopping to snag the Black Friday deals, but I did manage to sneak in a visit to the GW Boutique.

While I was searching the racks, I saw a sales clerk place an item on the shelf that interested me. I scurried over and swiftly picked up this.

This briefcase is made of top grain cowhide according to the label on the inside of this bag. I like the wear that is on the underside of the handle. Makes me wonder what kind of places this briefcase has been to.

 The inside of the bag has three compartments that separates items, and places to hold pens and pencils. Tucked inside the briefcase I found these three items...

Horses and Riders of the Old West by Ernest Tonk is a how to draw book with beautiful illustrations.

There were also two envelopes Pictures in full color from Friendly Animals by Percy Reeves...

I find nothing friendly about this European Wildcat.

This illustration of Wolves have a happy family life is charming I certainly would not want to meet them in a wooded area or call them friendly.

The second envelope contained Animal Ancestors by Walter Alois Weber.

The wild ass of North Africa is the forbear of 

the donkey according to the back of this illustration.

Domestic cats are directly descended from the Egyptian wild cat.

From the call, of the wild to the love of home. The wolf. The Collie dog.

All of these lovely treasures and priced at $2.99. I love thrift shopping!

Looking forward to see what everyone else found this week.
