I always knew there was a treasure sitting on the shelf of our family room but I never took the time to explore...well tonight in my procrastination I explored that treasure.

Sitting on our bookshelf is our Family Bible, it is a little tattered and very loved. It tells a story all of it's own, the story of a Bible passed down from generation to generation starting in 1881. Roses pressed flat, and newspaper articles from 1934 are tucked inside the cover, depicting a Charles Dickins story the "Life of our Lord"...on the back of the articles of course are some great ads...

...are you sick of your 6 lb iron? Um yes, if I hate ironing now imagine how much I'd hate it if my iron was 6 lbs!!! Oh and a fantastic weight loss ad, women were torturing themselves back them too! Its tag line reads, "Nobody loves a fat girl!" In a strange way it gives me comfort that women were just as hard on themselves in the early 1900s. It makes me wonder how far back all of the craziness goes! In 3 frames this poor sad women becomes rail thin and has landed a handsome tux wearing man! Afterall she's "condensed" herself!
