And i bought a new book for 50 cents (took a picture with flash and washed out the cover & title hehe) Stolen Innocence .
Once i opened the book, it has been hard to put down! it is detailed story about a child abduction and how the parents were BEST FRIENDS with the pediphile and his family and how difficult it was getting through it all. INCREDIBLE story!

Good Monday morning..love your treasures from the week end swap meet.Have you checked thos leafy bowls? They remind me of a Hull Pottery Ash Tray I found in the attic of a house I once moved into. That pottery is valuable. The name would be on the botton. I love the rooster too. Thanks for sharing.,
