There's a dollar unaccounted for from last weekend. One little dollar that I spent, and did not tell you about. Confession time: the dollar went to one of my biggest weaknesses. Periodically, St Vincent de Paul has an amazing deal on them - children's books only, 10/$1.00. And when they do, you'd better believe I scoop up some books! Here are some of the finds this time. I apologize for the quality of the pictures. Bad light, flash and laziness, I'm afraid are to blame.:
 |
| Vintage Disney, another Nancy Drew, and look! Goonies! |
 |
| From "Bambi Gets Lost". |
 |
A punchline from the Goofy's Gags book.
I'll let you supply your own setup! |
 |
| I adore this pink and green 1971 "Read and Find Out" book - Use Your Brain! |
 |
| The illustrations are fabulous throughout. |
 |
There were a couple of these "Best in Children's
Books" ones, but I didn't know anything
about them, so I only picked up this one. |
 |
| It's an anthology, with a few really lovely illustrations. |
 |
| The 80s were a magical time, weren't they? |
 |
The Scarlet Slipper Mystery. One day I
should read a Nancy Drew or two! |
You may have noticed the picture above only made 7. That's because I have yet more vintage Disney to show you:
 |
| Original flavor Bambi, Pinocchio and Snow White, oh my! |
 |
| "You can call me Flower, if you want to!" |
 |
| She was definitely the scariest evil queen of all. |
 |
| Oh, Pinocchio! Next thing you know we'll catch you playing Pinochle! |
They even had a third, and to me most awesome of all, Bambi title,
Bambi's Fragrant Forest, which was a book I had and loved and unfortunately scratched and sniffed to death as a child. Equally unfortunately, this particular example of the book had been loved even more thoroughly than mine; the pages were falling out of the binding. So alas, I left it behind. Someday I'll come across a copy in great condition and I will refrain from scratching all the sniff out this time.
Ah, books! Buying a new stack like this for one little dollar always makes me feel like the luckiest girl in the world!
For $1! No kiddin'! That was awesome! I'll take all of them for a dollar, too. Awesome haul. :) One can never resist books.
ReplyDeleteI know - I've lucked into the 10/$1 kid's books deal on 3 occasions now I think, and every time feels like Christmas!
