Welcome back to another Friday Finds: Vintage Edition #14! Fall is in the air people and I'm very excited about that! How about you?

I'm going to get right to it so here goes: First up is a darling miniature silver plated pitcher I got from Goodwill for $1.99. When I bought it I knew I wanted to use it for a vase. So why not put the last cuttings of my summer flower garden in it?










It's a great find for me because Robert Frost has always been my favorite poet. I was an English major in college and have always loved poetry. So you can imagine how excited I was to stumble upon this in the "book room" of the church for $1.00. I have my own copy of the collected works of Frost, but that was from my college days. This baby is copyrighted 1949, printed 1956. I can happily say that I wasn't even born when this book was printed.

 I was bummed that the dust jacket had stuck to the front cover of the book, leaving some white marks behind. But otherwise it was in great condition considering how old it is. Besides, we all love those vintage imperfections, right? Another thing that sealed the deal for me was that when I looked inside it fell open to my absolute favorite poem of all time entitled "The Road Not Taken." If you've never read it, take a look.


And not only that, but the previous owner had written a comment at the bottom of the page. Finding it, I felt like I was learning something private about Robert Frost that I never knew, especially as it relates to this poem.

So yeah, I'm an English nerd. And I'm so happy I found this book! That about wraps it up for now. But I promise that I'll have some more vintage goodies for you next week.

I can't sign off without reminding you of my exciting news (in case you missed it)! Starting next Thursday, October 15, 2015, I'll be joining in as co-hostess of a brand new Vintage Charm link party, and I really hope you'll be a part of it!
