Second hand shopping

 I did one thing on Friday that I really enjoy doing . . . second hand shopping.

I love looking for bargains.

My first stop was to St. Vinnies, where I bought:

Two hardly used handbags.

The red one will be perfect for evening use

and the black one has no scratches and in excellent condition, looks almost brand new. 

$3 each!

And one long skirt,

doesn't look as good in the photo and looks lovely on, slimming!

Cost $2.

Then I went to the Lifeline book fair and filled my granny shopping trolley to the top with books:

As I am a collector of old cookbooks, this will be added to my collection - 1941 version

Katey Dicksons was the daughter of Charles Dicksons, the author.

I almost bought (new) the Father Brown series, glad I didn't as this was a bargain at $5. 

Mao's Last Dancer is an excellent read, wanted to own my own copy.

I have never read Uncle Toms Cabin, now I can.

Three novels on those days when I want lite reading.

The Flying Doctor sounded very interesting.

I always look for a few art books as these are usually expensive in the stores.

I also bought 5 DVDs and 3 books on fish for my son. 

I only bought one shopping trolley full, others had boxes and bags of books

- I did wonder how they were going to get it all to the car!

I could have bought far more, but I was running out of room and to be practical, I don't have the room in my house for any more books!

After walking up and down rows I now have sore feet and back!!

Whenever I am on the computer, Ruby is near by supervising.  

She sits on top of the filing cabinet on "her" cushion.  

I usually pull up the blind so she can look out of the window.

To all my wonderful friends - have a wonderful and blessed weekend.
