Late last week I went into an antique store looking for plates, silverware, that sort of thing. I love vintage plates, but just didn’t find anything I liked this time.
But I did find this. It’s a lovely book on ferns, printed in 1889. Of course, it’s about british ferns, so it’s not going to help me much, but I don’t mind. It has these charming
illustrations of the ferns of Britain, printed in the loveliest shades of green.
Inside there are several hand written notes, and this leaf was pressed between the pages.
I love this little book, I’m so glad I happened upon it.
How fun! I love antiquing and I love things like this - even the fonts and types are interesting, you know?
