I went to a local vendor faire last weekend up in the Santa Cruz mountains. It was a gorgeous day, with lots of artsy vendors, happy faces, good food, and friendly little goat families. (I bet you can guess who was first in line for the bus!)
I picked up three amazing old ledgers from Brussels, which will likely be put to good use in some way for retreat attendees—the largest journal is HUGE, about 24"x26"!
Some of the pages will definitely end up in Provisions packets that I'll have for sale at the retreat as well. But since I'm not the greedy type, I'm going to share the bounty with a couple of readers here (a few pages from other vintage ledgers just might find their way in there too--you just don't know). Just leave a comment on this blog post and I'll mail out a nice little packet to two lucky winners next Friday. Be sure to leave an email, so I can get in touch with you!

Hi Cindy! These look like wonderful finds! I'm so looking forward to coming back your way in February! Nice to see Max's sweet face too.
Great find Cindy! So nice of you to share. I can't wait to see the details for your next retreat.
I love old ledgers, too. And your kitty is in full Spring mode, sounds like...
We adopted an 8 year old cat named SuzyQ, from the Humboldt County Animal Shelter. She has been with us for two weeks now. Great little one.
Girlfriend, so sorry I missed the bus! Can't wait to see that ginormous ledger and all the other good stuff you gathered. xoxo, Char
Hi Cindy,
LOVE those ledgers!! You scored! Heading up to Los Gatos with my kids for the holiday weekend. This trip is about a visit with my sister. Next trip is about an Artful Journey! So excited I could squeal.

I want to find cool ledgers! We went to the Rose Bowl flea market and looked and looked and came up empty handed.

Oh, Cindy, one of these days I'm going to be in your area and get to attend a faire like this. We don't have them in AZ that I know of. Oh, well. I simple love old ledger pages and would enjoy winning one of your sets. Good to see you on blogland.

OMG - 24" by 26" ledger??!?!?! That is a ledger for a GIANT!! ;) I don't suppose a page from that ledger will be part of the giveaway, will it?? I can't wait to see what you make for the retreat next year and I am SO looking forward to being there and seeing old art-full friends again =-)

Hi Cindy,
I'm always looking for old ledgers but apparantly I don't go to the right places, so please put my name in your hat.
