My Favorite Garage Sale Find

Last weekend I went garage sale shopping and found some great stuff for Trade Days next weekend. While I was browsing (ha ha) should say frenzy feeding, I saw this plain looking book on a table for .75 cents.



I flipped it open and this was the first page I saw. It was love at first sight for me. I snatched that book up fast and have already spent hours looking at it. I love birds and the drawings are beautiful. The book was published in 1961 and I consider it one of my new treasures!



These are coastal birds that I see every day and they really are beautiful, if not messy when flying over my boat or over the dock.



Just wanted to show some different pictures. The book is full of beautiful colorful pictures of birds around the world. Oh yea it is pretty interesting reading also.
