New(Old) Books!

 

I haven't done a Show and Tell in a while, but I'm here today!
About a month ago, I received a lovely package in the mail.
I found these gems inside:

Well, to be honest, I knew what was inside!
I had ordered them off a used curriculum forum that I belong to.
I was especially excited to get Keeping a Nature Journal, An Edwardian Lady (the story of Edith Holden), and the old copies of the Elsie books.
I love old books and to have these Elsie ones is a treasure.  I'm not even sure how old they are because there are no dates in them.
Chickadee has already read through the first 4 of the series.

For more Show and Tell visit Canadagirl
Thanks for stopping by here today!
Blessings!

Show & Tell Friday



Time for Show & Tell with Canadagirl.
(I almost forgot it was Friday already!!)

I'm sharing my 'great find' of the week:
Look at all the neat books I got at a library book sale for only $4.00!!

P1010929

There were a couple of magazines in the package as well(a Country Living and a Country Home), but they were already put on the shelf.  I only buy used magazines if they're a favourite(like Country Living) or if I'm going to use them for the kids to cut up for projects.

Anyhow, back to the books.  I was so excited to find the Kids Canadian Tree Book because now I have the whole set(Bird, Bug and Plant).
I also already have the first edition of Shakespeare Stories, so to find the second one really cheap and in good condition was also quite exciting!! (I love a good deal on something I was  going to buy anyway.  I think it actually makes me giddy!!)
And Chickadee(10yr dd for whom I also picked up the horse book) has begun teaching herself to play the recorder(a Christmas gift).
I'm sure they will all come in handy in our homeschooling at some point!

Thanks for coming to visit!!

(ps. Please see my post below if you have any recommendations.
Thanks a bunch!!)
