I've mentioned before that I love a great bargain.... (AKA I'm cheap!)
So when I hear gently used at good prices I get excited!
Yesterday we went to a GIANT book sale in aid of our local Canadian Federation of University Women group!
They hold this every year (this is our second year going!) We got so many great books and help raise money for scholarships for women to go to college! (In the word of Charlie..... WINNING!)
I know I've said before I'm not a reader but my whole family is! And they are trying to convert me I think... plus I do read cook books... as a matter of fact I love old 60's, 70's and 80's cookbooks... It's almost a sickness! And you'd be amazed how many cookbooks one can accumulate if they try...
So here is my haul!
They have a section where you can fill a bag for $2!
Here's our bag!
(we paid $4 because I felt like we had stuffed 2 bags worth of books into 1 reusable bag...)
there are all kinds of books in this section from self help to crafts to religion and fiction...you name it it's there!
Once I opened up the bag and saw what we got I was shocked!
Here's what I got from the craft/cooking section!
And a few that daddy and Delaney picked out! (can you tell who was holding the bag...)
Here are few of the ones I am most excited about!
A reprint of a dress making book from the 1870's (If nothing else I will be framing a few of these pages and putting them on the walls!)
Sheet Music.... already have a few crafts in mind to use these for!
Great Cooking Ideas.... They weren't kidding when they named this baby, this book is huge! And there is a recipe on every page! (sure to show up on future Make it Monday's!)
This one I am flipping out over still! James Beard! YES PLEASE!
And this one I got to try some things for Miss Delaney! I may have to YouTube some video's on how to do needle point as I have no freaking idea how I mean experience...
We also got a few other books in the regular sections of the sale...
A few for Delaney... a couple for Daddy and a couple for me to try... My Sister is a good influence what can I say... (she secretly wishes me a reader I think)
Daddy also nabbed us a World Atlas...
It's a bit out of date... as in it still has the USSR... but hey it suits our needs...
and Delaney is already in love with it!
All in all a great day, we got so many great books, had so much fun looking through everything over and over and everyone went home with a few new reads at super cheap prices! (not to mention that we helped raise money for the Canadian Federation of University Women Scholarship Fund!)
Have you picked up anything at a great price and gotten a little too excited about it lately? Any great books you've picked up or any great crafty reads?? Please Share it in the comments I'd love to hear all about it!
