Thursday Treasure

It's fun to find things in the house.  I guess we aren't really finding them because we know they are there.  I suppose it's rediscovering.  We have so much stuff in this house.  I'm not complaining (well, maybe a little). I love that we have so much history related to Brett's family, but sad that we really don't know much about some of what we do have.  For those who don't know, we inherited this house from Brett's great-grandma. It used to be a one-room school until it was moved to this farm.  That is where I came up with Old School Acres.  We pulled everything out of one of the closets (we have a whopping 3 in the entire house) and way in the back was this (check out the price!  It was 1971 after all):

Filled with a bunch of these:

All in German.  This one is from 1816.   I often think about the original owners of some of this "stuff" we now own and I silently thank each of them for not breaking the link between us.
