What did you find today? :-)

[MildredHubble]

Hey everyone! I was out on my travels today and found a book that I think is pretty neat and quirky. It's been fun looking through it. It's called "Cone's Book of Handicrafts - Practical Things to Make and Do". It was published in 1961.

I'm sure lots of us find things that we find interesting but haven't got many people who might see the value in quite the same way. So I thought I would start a thread where we can post these things. I thought that people could post about anything they think is interesting that they find, it can be anything including something you found or a picture of something you thought was unique and captured your interest. It can also be a post on something you learned today, or maybe something you thought you'd lost and ended up finding

Hopefully I haven't duplicated another thread

Here's some pictures of the book I found...

I found the "crowing" contraption so funny Who came up with that? I might have to see if I can make it.

Holy Cow!

That was a favorite childhood book! I learned a lot of fun stuff from that book (most of it I just imagined doing, but still learned that it was possible to do that stuff).

Wow! What a cool coincidence! I feel very lucky to have found it. It's got lots of very quirky things, like making ornaments out of coconut shells and also rug making (but you know that already ). It's a good book to just look through and learn lots of stuff that you can have in the back of your mind for later

That book is truly a treasure.
The only thing I "found" today is the my toilet won't flush.
