Twenty Five Cent Hardcovers

I must confess, I went to the thrift store tonight. I did this even though I haven't put away my treasures from vacation yet.

Yesterday, everything was 50% off. I didn't go.

Today, hardcover books were 25 cents. I found these three.

"The Chosen", because you actually cannot have too many of this book.

"The Story of a Bad Boy" because it is green, and, isn't that an interesting title? I figure if the book isn't any good, I could always use the cover as a scrapbook of sorts. It would be fun to alter! And, I have known a few 'bad boys' in my day.

"Poems for Enjoyment" I could not pass up. As an added bonus, it does have some green on it. It is a book very true to it's title. I've been reading it for the past hour, and it has been extremely enjoyable.

Those were my great finds.

I also found a glass candle stick, a little taller than the ones I have holding up my 'gazing balls'. So, now they are nicely staggered (see inky fingers at http://www.judyh58b.blogspot.com/).

That isn't all. I also bought a wooden rack that used to hold finger puppets for sale. Now, I only have three finger puppets, and do not really need a rack for them, so I will be searching for another use for it. It folds flat, so I can take my time looking. If nothing else, it will nicely hold thread.

I always find the best ribbons at this thrift store. I found a spool of velvet-ish red ribbon. I might just wrap it around a small tree 'garland style' for Baby Boy.

A good time was had by me.
