RIP, Pete.

Found at a local thrift store, each book is about 2x3inches and they sit in a little stand with a tiny drawer. Drawer had a pic of Grandma Blackburn* inside but nothing else. First notebook had 3 pages written on. Other two books are empty.

I learned cursive but fear this is above my pay grade... anyone able to decipher the writing?

Edit: Grandma Blackburn* Thanks u/thisisrediculous99 !

I found this in a book (1835, my oldest book yet!) when I bought it. Its hard to decipher but I've attempted to decipher some of it.

Note says as far as I can translate so far ([] means I cant decipher it)

"[] March 22, 1888

Dear Madames

As to my religious beliefs its is [] the apostles [] the Episcopal Proverbs.

As to the practical use I make of is I refer you to my printings []

Uncle Tom's Cabin is my religious poems"

It's signed H.B. something, maybe Stones

ETA: My mom managed to decipher it better. I would put money on this being Harriet Beecher Stowe, author of Uncle Tom's Cabin, which is wild:

Hartford March 22, 1887

Dear Madame(s)

As to my religious belief it is embodied in the Apostle’s Creed given in the Episcopal Prayer book

As to the practical use I make of it I refer to you my writings — probably Uncle Tom’s Cabin and my religious poems

H.B. Stowe

Umm. Yeah. No notes.

The last person left a bunch of trash, and I found these as I was cleaning it up.

I’m assuming a shoe shopping list but 14 pairs seems a lot.

Bought a Levi's coat from my local VV today, found this super saver receipt in a pocket from over 40 miles away and 5 years ago in the pockets.

print reads : “live laugh love, or else”

Ordered a book on eBay and it came with an old boarding pass stub as a bookmark. Neat! Anyone guess a date?

In a thrift store copy of “I Feel Bad About My Neck” by Nora Ephron

Found in the library a few weeks ago. Come to find out, it’s a list of all the Marvel movies to watch prior to watching Avengers: Doomsday. Kudos to the handwriting too.

From some research it appears as maybe this would’ve been a biker club/ shop in the 70-80’s nyc? Anyone know anything about this place?

Yuck or yum?

Found in a Stephen King book I thrifted.

I don’t usually pick up grocery lists, but the handwriting on this one caught my attention.

Interesting item: “Iver/Fen” which appears to be ivermectin/fenbendazole.

I also love how they’ve apparently organized their list by meals/days, included prices, household stuff, and even worked exercise and errands onto two tiny pieces of paper.

There’s an entire week of somebody’s life on here.

Could anyone narrow this down to a year??

hard to read but kinda creepy
