underneath the bags of funky bows...
4 HUGE books of wallpaper samples...
page after page of glorious colors and patterns...
I can see these as journal covers...
gift tags...
gift wrap...so many different things...
I think I squealed when I found them...
the darling man that was watching the second floor? think he thought I was nuts...
he guarded them for me while I looked around some more...
then I could hear someone trying to take them, and he said, no...these are spoken for...
he was a good man!
( I think it was my "squeal"...
needless to say, I unburied more treasures from that sale, too...
but my favorite were these 4 1933 wallpaper books...
ahhh....
by the way...
the adventure is that I am taking 13 credits at Portland State University this term....
already overwhelmed with homework...
and yes...
I am the oldest in all my classes...
but ...
it is an adventure!
