Along with all the journals in my thrifted lot there was a photo album, an address book, a sketch book, a set of fun pens, and a to-do list with a magnet on the back. This matching pair of journals were still in their retail shrink wrap, and will be perfect as a purse/desk combo.
The photo album has laser-etched wood covers, and would be great to use for some pics I have of Yellowstone.
It amazes me what some people will just throw away. Thank goodness this person donated the album instead to Goodwill.
I think many young people are gifted journals by a well-meaning family member who wants them to have a place to write down their thoughts (I've done that; I even handed out journals to kids I didn't know.) I wish more of them would actually use the journals.
I might try to hand out some of these to young people I know. It's all about the presentation, and what you say, which can be tricky, but sometimes they appreciate it.
The pen set, which has fun motivational sayings stamped on each one.
The big sketch book in the center has beautiful paper in it. The to-do list (I burn through two or three of these every year) will also be helpful. The advertising journal made from vinyl and cork that came with a pen will likely end up being another of my desk journals.
I got two of the advertising journal in the center there, each with a beautiful pen. I would put a resale value of $5.00 per item on this lot, which would make it worth a total of $105.00. I paid $14.03 for it. Savings: $90.97.
