I’ve been spending much of this year sorting and cleaning out the house where husband’s parents lived. While it is strange, and quite a bit sad, going through everything there have been a few treasures uncovered.
I may have a different view of treasure than other people. Some of the best finds have been an old 10 gallon sauerkraut crock, vintage sewing supplies, the bulbs I dug our of the garden beds and a small stash of old books that had belonged to my Mother-in-Law when she was a child.
As a fellow Nancy Drew fan, this came home with me. By the time I was old enough to enjoy Nancy’s sleuthing adventures in the 1970s, the illustrations had changed. This book was published in 1934 and I never had pictured Nancy’s convertible as having a rumble seat.
The photo challenge was created by:
- Cathy from Nanacathydotcom
- Jane from Rainbowjunkiecorner
- Melissa from The Aran Artisan
- Sandra from Wild Daffodil

Fabulous take on the prompt, as always.
Lovely post. I had a copy of that book from my grandmother. 😉
Those stories are timeless.
Mystery in memories, great story accompanying the image.
Thanks.
Yes! a treasure!
I’ve saved quite a few things other people would probably discard.
What a great find! The 1930 Nancy Drew are so beautifully illustrated…and I don’t know about you but for me it’s a bonus when there is writings in a second hand book! Good luck with cleaning up/out…it is a sad business indeed but you do it with care an attention! xo Johanna
This was given to my mother-in-law when she was a child. I’m imagining for a birthday gift. You share her name!

I have one of the Nancy Drew Mystery books (1960) but no car in the picture unfortunately.
The illustrations I remember usually had Nancy on a ladder overlooking a wall.
