"Odd you should say that" replied Taph. She just happened to have a pile of Miss Marples she was about to release on Bookcrossing and promised to bring them round when she picked me up this morning before the YMCA Garage Sale.
Also in the bag was a lovely vintage tin, full of treasure:
I really don't understand how she could bear to part with it but am very glad she did!Speaking of treasure, I found a bit of it at the garage sale. This little pile came to $5 in total:
I'm not sure which is my favorite: the giant reel of cotton? The vintage dolls house rug? The black and white row counter? (a bit hard to see at the top there) Or the black and white daisy ribbon?Back outside, I picked up 4 black rubber place mats and matching coasters for $2 (the lot):
and a pile of books for me and for friends for $8 total.
How wonderful are these illustrations from Nothing at all rhymes?
(Yep, that is a purple bagpipe holding while violin playing dancing cat you see before you...)
