Bought anything interesting lately?

[ServusMariae]

My humble haul from a 2-dollar store: A Christmas-y storage box (with a snowman on the top), 2 sets of Japanese origami papers, 2 spare earpieces, 1 miniature Christmas tree.

I bought my mom a Christmas present (shh...don't tell her!):

Hey, everyone, let's tell LC's mom what she got her for Christmas! (joke)

Before I would read that book, I still need to get through all of The Imitation of Christ and True Devotion.

Nice! I plan to go to the Dollar Tree myself for Christmas shopping again. It's interesting that it's a two-dollar store you went to. If our currencies were equal, you would have spent double on each item compared what I would spend on each.

yep, for 2 bucks I get all sorts of quality stuff from Japan (albeit most of the products are made in China, with the exception of certain origami papers, original toys, pouches, Japanese cultural items & foodstuff - the latter is directly imported from Japan, & they're yummy. )

I so wanna go to the Dollar Tree!! & I don't care if I gotta spend double the price - as long as it's value for money!!!

Haha!

I bought her The Imitation of Christ two Christmases ago!

A new faucet, water heater, and three tarps.  Woohoo!

Missal 1754. Those photos are a bit, but it's interesting. A bit fragile on some pages of the Canon, but that's usual, unless the Missal were never  or rarely used.

Beautiful, prayerful! I have anew old bible with locks and looks much like that, but much larger. I love those type of treasures.

Thanks. Beautifully tooled cover, solid clasps, and a style of illustration characteristic of the time. Tomorrow, in a sort of calendar quirk that happens of a time, tomorrow is the sixth Sunday after Epiphany, passed over this year. It has the propers printed for those passed over Sundays printed immediately after the 24th Sunday after Pentecost. It must have eased the life of some Venetian priest a little not to have to place ribbons throughout the Missal - tomorrow will be little bit more fiddly with the hand missal. And the Holy Mass deserves nothing less than the best.

Also for my mom for Christmas:

I have that at home!! (*screams*)

St. Louis Marie de Montfort is the expert in everything Marian, & the Secret of Mary ... let's say I'm not gonna reveal any spoilers (because it's a secret lol) ... but really: it packs alot of punch.

Prayerful, we sent our Bible to have the inside cover refurbished. That was all that was needed. All the artwork throughout is awesome. Most are pen and ink, but also some colored artwork. Copyright is 1878. 140 years old, but very sound. Douhey Rheims. Just as your beautiful Missal is the best for Mass. My bible seems so noble and dignified for the WORD of GOD.  You know, we are very blessed to have these treasures. By the way, our Bible cover is beautifully tooled leather, like your missal.

Next up in the "Christmas presents for my mom" department:



I'll be ordering it soon.

Replacement ribbons from Leather Missal Covers are handy, fast service. Probably a very predictable service, but fast and good quality, and they definitely focus on Catholics.
