Old Gifts {Sweet Shot Tuesday}

March 28, 2011


I love this book from his Mamma.

To me it’s pure sweetness.

Sweet Shot Day

I love old things. All sorts of things.

Especially books.

And I love the inscriptions on the insides of the faded pages.

Merry Christmas.

Happy Birthday.

Just a simple name and a date.

I wonder who the people were and

how their books ended up in used book stores.

    Lovely! I have a number of my mother’s and grandmother’s books. You’ve inspired me to photograph the inscriptions.
