Fabulous Find

i have been resisting the pull of thrift store shopping for a few weeks now... i have so much stuff to use up i cut myself off.  today i had this overwhelming urge and followed it.  to my delight i discovered these books from 1961 and thought they would make fabulous travel journals.  i will gut them and make some wonderful "ticket to venice" style repositories.


 four books with lovely and colorful printed covers


 british isles and western europe


the near and the middle east


baltic states and central europe


southern asia and the far east


i think the graphics are just stunning and i can't wait to play with them...

ciao for now,
kim
