I Married Adventure Osa Inspired Design

After several attempts, I finally won 

"I MARRIED ADVENTURE" BY OSA JOHNSON

on eBay!  I have been pining after this vintage zebra covered classic 

but haven't ever loved it enough to pay the $100-150 price tag.

I snagged this baby up for a mere $27!

The original cover is probably in better condition if the dust jacket is present, too.

That's a win/win in my book!

Here's how others have styled their "I Married Adventure:"
