HOLY.......BIBLE!

Today was one of those awesome days. Hubby took the little one to school and the munchkin and I were out the door by 8am hitting the garage sales. It was probably the 3rd one we went to. AAaaaaaaahhhhhhhhh, I heard choruses singing as we pulled up. I spotted the most incredible bird cage I have ever seen sitting in the driveway, so I knew this was going to be a good one! The bird cage was expensive, but I wasn't going to give up easily! The only other thing I picked up was a pair of glass doorknobs, my mom and sister would know the kind - the ones grandma used to have at her house!

I took my time looking around and low and behold - to my surprising eyes did I spot these 3 beauties.....the most gorgeous Bibles I have ever seen IN MY LIFE. The price was like a joke, but we'll talk about that later. I immediately took the sticker off them and found the lady and asked if it was her best price, thinking the initial price was a joke to begin with, so she took $3 off. Woohoo! Are you kidding me?!

Bible #1Bible #2Bible #3 - In my initial search online, I found the same Bible, in better condition, but it was $600. Yes people $600. I won't tell you what I paid for it, I want to keep you guessing. I think the date in it is 1892. :) And I just realized this picture is upsidedown, sorry...

I made phone calls - I needed more money! More money to spend at the best garage sale I have ever been to! My investors came thru for me once again - God Bless Them! So I made a pile the size of my 1-car garage and headed off to get money, they weren't all too pleased to keep it for me, but I promised them I would be back! When I returned I was able to take my time, and I found:

• Antique statues


• Alot of antique linens, including a quilt


• End table, handmade wooden toolbox and small bench


• hobnail milkglass vase


• Bird pictures


• THE birdcage and much, much more......

So here is a horrible picture of the birdcage, sorry I was in a major hurry. She is a beauty and stands about 2 1/2 feet tall.
