Great find on the antique books. I'm sure they will make wonderful and informative reading. The Hymnal is a true goodie. I picked up a 1940 hymnal at the thrift shop. Our family isn't in anyway musical inclined, however it has made great read aloud material. It reads like poetry for the soul.

I love the vintage books - they are so intriguing.

Beautiful china too.

What neat dishes and books! The first book you shared: The commentary 1899 - Revivalist Press, Cincinnati Ohio - My husband and I went to Bible school at the college that published it! (Our first year, was the school's 100 year anniversary.) I actually put in a few hours volunteer time in the Revivalist office! Oswald Chambers taught there for a little while.

Anyway, I'm rambling a bit... it took me a little by surprise! :) Hope you have a great weekend!

Susan said...

Jane said...

Those dishes are very pretty. How do you find room for all your dishes? I am glad you found your husband the books. I hope you share them together. Happy Anniversary!

SmilingSally said...

It doesn't seem that long ago that I sang from the Broadman Hymnal. I guess that tells me that I'm vintage too!

Hootin Anni said...

Happy Weekend Kelli!

Karen said...

LOVE the dishes! But . . . I am after all a self proclaimed dishaholic!
The books are outstanding. When you stop to think of how old they are, of how many men and women stood in Church on a Sunday morning and held that hymnal while singing praises to God . . . it just gives me goosebumps.
I will be back next week! This week was just . . . CRAZY!
Have a good weekend.

Linda said...

Pretty finds Kelli, I love the dishes, that is a sweet pattern.

Happy Anniversary to you both...hugs, Linda

Mountain Moma said...

I adore the china and of course I also treasure old books. Simply lovely.

Jen said...

My favourite comentaries are the ones my late grandfather, a minister, had. When he passed, my mother brought back a bunch of them for me. Such good, solid, grounded teaching.

Mrs.T said...

Lovely finds, Kelli! I can't resist old hymnbooks either. The dishes are especially pretty.

God bless,
Mrs.T

Elise said...

Hi Kelli

What wonderful and special finds. They have found such a perfect new home.

Tammy said...

Kelli - It was fun to see the small book for missionaries, published in Nebraska. Union College is located kind of smack-dab in the middle of Lincoln, NE now, apparently built outside the city limits originally, then annexed into the city. We drive by it sometimes when we're in the city. :o)

TJ said...

What wonderful finds Kelli! I'm glad you had a good anniversary!

Susan B said...

The dishes are beautiful! And I love the old books...I love old hymnals. Some lovely treasures.

Happy Anniversary, Belated!
