Firstly thank you for the lovely comments after yesterdays post, it never ceases to amaze me that people like to read about my life and the things I get up to, so for that I am grateful.
Now I did promise you photos of Sydney and the wedding buuuuut I had a little outing today, a little bird (Sue) told of a book fayre being held at Te Rapa's racecourse. As Joe was sleeping after night shift I jumped in the car, called for Sue to come out and play and we headed on over, it's only a couple of mins from her place.
I've always loved books, I love the look of them, the feel of them. My mum will tell you of the ability I have to lose myself in one. Many a time mum threw missiles at me to break me out of my reverie so I could come eat dinner. I was always lost and never heard a thing outside of what was going on in the book. I can't understand the desire for those Kindle (?) things, it's not the same as a book, it could never be, I'll stick to the real thing I reckon.
I'm not sure how long we were at this fayre but it was a quite a while. There were two areas, one hall with books at $3 each, there were collectables etc for slightly more, and in another hall books for $1 and magazines (8 for $5) while we were in there they slashed all the prices by half! There were hundreds of books..
The following were all $3 each, I dream one day of holidaying in and experiencing Tuscany...
A heap of Classics......
More assorted reading...
...and this lot was from the $1 hall and the whole lot cost just $7 because they halved the prices!
That lot should keep me out of trubble....
...I know, it'll take more than a stash of books to do that! haha!
See you tomorrow ♥
Great haul Sue. Glad you had a great time in Sydney. xxx
