More Hidden Treasures......

.....in the wall by the attic stairs:

An old leather pair of men's shoes;

                                                            An old wooden spindle;

And, my favorite, a beautiful glass basket,

that looks like it will be in perfect condition, once all the grime is removed!



We also found a very old shoe box with detailed instructions on the proper care of leather shoes printed on the inside.( I'm thinking of framing it, and hanging it in my mudroom;)

Handy bits of advice like;

"When shoes are wet or damp they should be dried slowly, away from the fire, as it takes only a short time to burn leather if it is exposed to undue heat when wet or even damp." 

Too neat!

Much of the attic wall remains unexplored, and I told my Knight that before it is sealed off in drywall forever, I think we really should see what else is hidden away.....

Don't you agree?

Who knows what other "treasures" we may discover.

If we don't, I know I'll always wonder!
