The Lucky Tens

As an avid recycler and lover of all things repurposed, these little thrift stores have always been like quick sand to me. I love wandering through the isles of other’s previously well loved items. Bored and trying to figure out what else to do with myself on that rainy day I almost left empty handed because nothing was catching my eye, new store so probably not many donations yet. But as I thumbed through the small stack of books I found the cutest little black notebook, well planner it turned out to be, full of small notes of someone’s day to day and important appointments from the year 1964. Her handwriting was beautiful and her days seemed to be filled with one luncheon or tea or another. I knew I had found my read for the evening and paid the dollar I owed for the book and headed home to examine this great find. The evening, unfortunately, had other plans for me.
