The larger book on the right, was purchased at an antique show in Ann Arbor several years ago. It was a bit pricey, but when I opened the front cover..I was blown away! Inside was a crudely written name "Bobbie Shane". Now..first of all..I didn't think Bobbie (my name) was that common of a name but the last name "Shane", just happens to be my second oldest son! I knew it was meant for me! I know that the signature is not as old as the book...but I still thought it was a strange coincidence...
The small book I found at a little mall by my house about 10 years ago. There is a really cute poem on the front page:
And when looking thru this book, I found a couple of old newspaper articles that someone thought was important enough to save..something about taking care of your body and your babies. Then I found the paper cutout of this beautiful Victorian Lady.
Thank you to all for reading my blog..I really appreciate hearing from you!

Bobbie ~
The books are wonderful and I love the coincidence of "Bobbie Shane".
Life certainly can get in the way of things we want to do. I'm glad to hear your life is getting back to normal ~ whatever that may be.

I love the blue fabrics on your books Bobbie and the stories behind them and your purchasing of them. I have 3 original ones. I don't see them very often in person either. I'm really enjoying your posts!
What great finds. I don't think I've ever come across fabric covered books. Definitely that one was meant for you!
Your books are lovely Bobbie. And I call the similarities a "God wink".....
What wonderful old books and what wonderful treasures you found inside each...hugs, Linda
It's fun to see what other people have saved isn't it? Cute finds with personality!
