happy day

i am so excited. guess what.....

i got my hand on an antique copy of uncle tom's cabin and dombey and son. there's a copy of david copperfield as well but i don't much money to spare. sigh.....
also i got a pair of glasses.



isn't it cool? if i deduce it correctly, this is made in circa 1920s, or earlier. although this type of frames come into production in the late 1890s, but those were mostly oval instead of round. anyway, this frame is in a very good condition. not very good but still fit to be worn. but will have to change the lenses. the previous owner's left eye's lens is really thick. though the right eye is fine. i wonder who the previous owner is? is he or she dead yet? 
can't wait to change the lenses and make a few touching up.
