Vintage Encyclopedia and Junk Journal Planner
In 2023, I bought a wonderful set of old encyclopedias on eBay. They were actually Annuals and were in a replaceable binder format. In a haze of excitement, I decided to make 9 Junk Journal Calendar/Planners to give as Christmas gifts to family and close friends. I started in July.

More Vintage Office Stamps
Here are my two newest vintage office stamps. I have found some great ones on eBay recently. Stamp 1 From Communist Bulgaria I love the grungy frame around it, the dotted lines, and the graphic script. Stamp 2 This is a Registered Architect stamp from Pennsylvania. I particularly like the graphic in the inner circle, with a sun and building, and the leaf frame motif. I love the Grunge, almost Steampunk style, they have. I anticipate using them often!

We have a great Goodwill store the way home from the dentist. My husband jokes that is how he bribes me to go… lol Many thrift stores also have books. Tink Tip When you are thrift store shopping, remember to look at the used books, but not just ones with pictures. I have two wonderful vintage dictionaries I got from our local Goodwill. The older one – not sure of the year, maybe the 1940s?…
