I love all of these beautiful pages with the additional perforated receipt. I'm not sure what I will do with this large beauty. Sometimes I just like to browse through them and think of the person that used to own it. What they were thinking, doing, wearing and what their life was like.
I think I should have a "Share Your Ledger" day blog event. Any takers?

Your ledger is a great find and I love the idea of a share your ledger blog event!
What a beauty!! A great find, indeed. I've got a few new "old" books that I plan to scan and share the pages..totally cool stuff from yesteryear.
I hope you are having a great day,
Hugs,

That ledger is THE coolest thing! Love it and it's so big! Love all those different sections. Score! I would participate in the share your ledger deal but I've only got one ledger from 1903 written in pencil, although it does have cool lists of groceries and their prices back then.
That ledger is so cool Rhonda...what a great treasure you have there! Hugs!
Rhonda! That's a beauty! What a wonderful find!
